Blowing the cobwebs away

Following yesterdays early morning swim, I was knackered by the end of the day.  You are told to "listen to your body" and mine was saying it was still tired from the weekend so I had an early night.  I also had a long lie, 6.15am, and didn't go on my bike 1st thing as I wanted as much rest as possible before training.  Today was a busy with a lot of meetings and travel so when I got home I wasn't really looking forward to 1.5 hours on the bike as I could happily have had my dinner.
But every session in the run up to the event is essential so I went out on a sunny but very windy 1.5 hour ride.  I don't normally train at this time of the day but  really enjoyed it as it blew the cobwebs away (almost blew me away at one stage with a side wind!) and refreshed me.  It's not a long session, really just meant to keep my legs going in preparation for the heavy effort at the weekend.  Now I can enjoy my dinner and watching the footie with the family.  Early run tomorrow so another early night.
