Saturday ride - disappointing for the wrong reasons

This week at work has been frantic! I am mentally exhausted. The end of the financial year is peak workload time for me. I did however manage a 30 minute run on Tuesday evening - very happy with that. My fitness has fallen away during my break - I needed one walk break this time. Next one I'll will be trying for none.

A last minute txt message received yesterday had me out for an early ride this morning. It seems like I have become the riding apprentice of my running apprentice (life always has balance huh?). This morning we headed out for a ride down to Station Pier and back (a 45km round trip). I was planning on a 30 minute run afterwards but figured that could wait until tomorrow as the ride was faster and harder than last week.

All the way down there I was salivating at the thought of a custard filled doughnut and a strong cafe latte down at Cafe Racer - that is what kept me grinding away up the hills (well that and following a cute blonde ponytail for a while). Arriving early before the crowd we collapsed onto the stools and ordered only to be told that the doughnuts are only available on Sundays - doh!! Two coffees each, a quick chin-wag and we headed off for the last 15kms home. My legs feel really worked now. I love that feeling of having worked out hard at the start of a weekend. No falls again!

Poor Wobblette # 1 is dragging herself around the house today as she has picked up the tummy bug that # 2 had a week ago. The forever to be postponed Yum Cha lunch has now been postponed for yet another week!

I'm off to the Vic Markets this afternoon with Wobblette # 2 to pick up some goodies for dinner this afternoon, With luck we will have time to stop in at Acland street for coffee and a littletreat.
