A Ride To The Island

Today I failed to make it to my intended destination of work.  Which was going to be Croydon.

The morning was instantly dominated by issues of mail delivery failure at a number of one of our satellite units.  So I spent the majority of the day dealing with that and other related issues.

At close of day I took 30 minutes to relax and meditate on this no smoking policy I am trying to adhere to right now.  I have an application on the iPhone which assists me there.

Feeling energised after my 30 minutes in the dark I decided to jump on the bike and ride down to St Marys Island and back again via the Leisure Centre, where I would take 30 minutes in the pool as a cool down.

I think for a first time The Ride went well.  There are moments like Dock Road where it’s all downhill and the change in elevation is significant.  However, what goes down must come back up and the return leg of the journey was a little tough.

The dip in the pool was most welcome, I swam about ten lengths before jumping back on the bike to ride to my local Co-Op to pick up fruit and the likes before returning home.

The urge to smoke is great today.  I am fighting it though !

Thanks to my Mum and Dad for the latest sponsor :) love you x

I also want to thank Joe of Brand Joe for his sponsorship, nice one mate !
