Know how you feel, but not quite as bad. Ear infection early in the year, followed by Avocadogate, then crashed me bike a few weeks ago, resulted in a shoulder injury. Meant no swimming (winter was not very nice for riding, but swimming was 3 times a week, rain or shine). The other injuries have kept me off the bike and out of the pool, since. I’ve missed a few right good rides, icluding the Quantocks one, and today’s Aleigh + Cinnamon Girl birthday ride (and beer 🙁 ). Did squeeze in a ride at Holmbury Hill, but that’s been it, since January, Apart from a couple of London Pootles.
Went for a 12-mile run up the River Lea earlier, but me shoulder is still a week or two away from off-roading. And I’ll have to take it easy in the pool.
I’m used to being fit and healthy. I’ve grown a ‘winter belly’, and some of me trousers don’t fit anymore. 🙁
