Well, it might not surprise you to hear that training has not been going so well recently. Not just because of the thorns on the cycle paths but I have (not) been enjoying an “MS hug” from just above the waist down for the last two weeks which has not been the most comfortable of things! If you imagine getting into the shower with all your clothes on, or the feeling you sometimes get when you get out of a bath that has been too hot and your skin feels too tight – that’s the best way to describe this feeling. I know that this could last a while and so at the moment I am just getting used to walking (especially in the cold) before I think about going out on the bike! And if this weren’t enough, the days are always short at this time of year and through the week, like a lot of people I leave the house to go to work in the morning when it’s dark and don’t go home until it is dark – in fact, I hardly see daylight at all during the week! This can make cycling very difficult, but it’s OK – Christmas is coming and Santa has promised both Penni and I some lights for our bikes so soon, there will be no excuse!
Otherwise, there is not much to report – we are still a long way off on our sponsorship www.justgiving.com/joandpenni our story was in the Barry and District newspaper the other day and can be seen on this link: http://www.barryanddistrictnews.co.uk/news/latestnews/3863985.Sisters_ride_out_for_charity/ and that’s about it!
Sorry for not being able to up date you a bit more, but things will start moving again soon I am certain and then there will be no shutting me up!
So, until the next time, take great care,
Loadsa love, Jx
