Too Soon?

Man am I sore from the weekend. I haven't been properly sore after exercise for a while. I have had a bit of soreness from swimming in the past couple of months, but that was nothing compared to the proper hurts to stand up, sit down, walk, sneeze etc type of soreness that I have at the moment. Quads are killing me.

I went for an easy recovery swim this morning that I didn't quite get to yesterday afternoon. The swim was very nice and certainly helped reduce some of my soreness. After the swim I jumped on the bike to ride into work and the reaction from my legs was, 'Really, the bike again, already. You sure that is a good idea?'

To be completely honest I wasn't.

In the end though the gentle spin into work went okay. I have a bit of a longer recovery ride this afternoon though which could be a little bit more of a challenge. Easy spinning is on the agenda I think.

Speaking of cycling, I think an end is in sight for my lost cycling gear ordeal. As people might recall from earlier posts, I accidentally left a bunch of my cycling gear up in Bintan after the Metaman last month. Ever since then I have been getting by with two sets of cycling gear, one set of which is pretty uncomfortable. It has been a frustrating experience. Anyway, we got confirmation the other day that the gear has been sent and so should hopefully be getting to us sometime this week. It will be nice to have a bit of choice again when it comes to jumping on the bike.

Running in the morning. Long intervals along the river. Hopefully I am not quite so sore in the morning.
