I can finally feel myself getting fitter. Things have been wierd for me since the end of April when I had miscarriage (very early) and then a month later some complications that took a while to get fixed. Basically, I've been a lump for the last few months, especially before a recent surgery that cleared up my probs. It's hard to take public transport if you think you might have problems.
Anyhow, I've started riding my bike to work. I used to do this no problem and the first time back was really hard. Huffing, puffing and sweating all over the place. Of course, when it's over 30C it gets a little tougher, but bit by bit its become easier and while I'm still sweaty and a bit huffy, it doesn't take as long to get to work.
What made today really neat was having to ride home in a rain storm. Lightening made a great show in the distance, and it felt really good to put effort into getting home. Glad I remembered to put my light on my bike. This was the coolest ride I've had in a while.
