Tuesday - we eventually made it to Kielder at 12.30...started later than planned...partly hard to get organised - should've done it day before bit had really stinking row with son which almost threatened going at all, so didn't get anything sorted and was in bed too late.
Beautiful drive over - I must do some road biking between Rothbury - Elsdon - Otterburn - Kielder - or at least, the turn to Kielder off Otterburn - Bellingham road - actually gets more boring towards Kielder - all man-made scenery and not such sweeping views.
Was hard getting going...but after first 20mins or so I was managing better - this is partly mental aswell as physical - it takes my 'virgoan' brain time to stop worrying about every stone in the path - and realise (again) that I can let the bike do the work on the whole..and it'll manage most stones fine! It's always really good for me - relaxing - as I gradually 'let go' fears and start to enjoy it more. And physically, fantastic for leg power and lungs - and mental strength too going up those endless fire roads..
Tuesday 6th April 2010
1.30 ish - Mountain bike, 2.5 hrs ish - up the Deadwater trail and back
4pm - Run - half hour - felt good
Thurs 8th April, 2pm, 10 mins - Sea swim - did bit of swimming - but so cold - struggled with my hands - perhaps the pink marigolds of last week did make a difference? Felt colder today than last week, although calm and a nice day...
