What a difference a ride makes...

One thing I want to say is that fitness and cycling now has a new blog. I'm not going to spread the link on here, because it is directly linked to me, and not at all secret. But if you know me, and want the link, just ask :) if there is a demand for it, then I'll post them anonymously somewhere else as well and link off to that.

Ok, so motivation is an issue for me, I struggle to get going with things, even if I really should be doing them. After a while it even effects the things that I really want to do, but just take a bit of effort to start. I've been feeling pretty down as a result of it all.

Tonight I went on a bike ride, nothing strenuous, a leisurely pace, about an hour long, covering just over 10miles. This doesn't seem like a lot, but it's been so long since I've done it. It felt truly amazing. I'm sitting here (in bed) feeling, happy, clear headed, motivated to get up and go in the morning, after going to bed at a sensible time. This again may not seem like much, but for me it's pretty huge. I guess it really is the little things that make your day.

I want to ride daily like this, maybe the evening is good for me (despite the cold). The key is finding a good motive, atm I have a friend who likes the idea of a ride every other day, this could be useful for me. I will try to do it, perhaps I just need to promise to do it to someone I care about... then I'd be sure to do it.

Ahwell, that's all for now, more for another night maybe. Hope you're all well, big love xxx
