Somewhat to my shame I realised yesterday that I'd ridden more miles in the final week of 2013 (314) than I rode in the whole of January (252).
I did manage to run further in January (52 miles) than the final week of 2013 (37.5), so some small, bitter comfort was to be found there.
But not much.
Anyway, I decided that having committed to a number of events later this year I was now so far in the bag fitness wise as to start getting rather intimidated, so I decided to ignore my cold and get out- and what a day it was!
Crisp but fairly warm, not a cloud in the sky.
Taking my MAMIL-hood to heart I went to Richmond Park and said hello to the dear, stopped by LMNH on the way home for a coffee and then arrived at home very glad of having ridden my bike.
40 miles, very modest- but it's a start, I do after all only have 210 to do in Feb and I'll have beaten January.
