Wonders never cease.
I spent the morning playing computer games, guilt free. Normally I’d hammer myself for “wasting” a day, but I figured why the hell not? I’ve worked. It’s a holiday. What’s the big deal?
As the sun got hotter, and the sky got bluer, my resolve faded. There was no way I could justify sitting inside all day. Rest day be damned.
I figured I’d go out, get some fresh air, enjoy the sun and do a tempo ride. And so that’s what I did.
Tomorrow has to be indoors. Even though it’s going to be one of the hottest days of the year so far, I have to do the Stage 5 Longer ride for this years Tour of Watopia. I need to see that out. Hopefully it shouldn’t take more than 1.5 hours.
The plan is to do that early, and that maybe go out for something of a recovery if I’m still in the mood. However it is due to remain nice weather – exactly the same forecast actually – for Sunday, so I might just skip that as an idea and go out Sunday morning instead.
Wishing away the weekend, I am.
The one downer is that my right shoulder is sore. Outdoors always aggrevates it, but right now it seems worse than usual. Has done all week. I give it a bashing with the foam roller and that kinda solves it for a while, but it keeps coming back.
It will be interesting to see how I feel after tomorrow’s ride, shoulder-wise.
