Bugger!
I slipped on one of the few remaining frozen patches whilst walking the dogs this morning and twisted my right knee, the one that I had the problems with before.
It's not serious but I could feel it all the way back to the car, twinging away, and it's still definitely "there" now, so I've decided not to risk antagonising it further with a 30 mile ride today, especially as I've got an induction at the gym at 4pm.
It's the same gym I used to belong to until about a year ago, but I was cycling more and going to the classes less often so cancelled the membership. My beautiful wife is still a member there though and she got a "Buddy Membership" offer through the post. Pay a £25 admin fee and a free month's membership is mine - plus I can become a full member at the end of the month without a joining fee.
So, I can get back and do some body conditioning off the bike in yoga classes and the swimming pool, do a bit of strength work in the gym and (hopefully) get to some spinning classes, which will help with interval training. PLUS, they have a sauna for helping to relax at the end of a workout.
My beautiful wife also wants to start visiting the "Torture Room", as she calls the main gym with all the weights and treadmills, so hopefully I'll have a training partner for those sessions too - which is always a bonus to make you train harder.
