Heart workout

Well today I rode the bike to work for the first time. It is in fact just over six miles to work if I go along the front. On the way there I had the wind against me all the way along the prom and it was a killer. It took me forty minutes to do the journey. On the way back, of course, I had the wind to help me. It only took thirty-three minutes, which is how long it takes me in the car of an afternoon. Also while my average HBM was 169 on the outward leg, coming home it was only 154. Needless to say my legs are jelly and there are a lot of sweaty clothes in the wash.

Katie has provided us with some drama today. It seems a couple of days ago that she thought we could do with some help tidying up. To this end she gathered the large pile of papers on the coffee table together and binned them. Now while the newspapers on the top were indeed out of date, the stack included; my insurance documents, packs from both Lorii’s and my solicitors and a cheque for over £560.00 from the insurance company. Needless to say we were not amused. Some frantic phone calls seem to have undone most of the damage. Good job I did not have my heart monitor on when that news came through. I think it would have broken it.
