Sunday Forest loop
Couldn't decide on the route, had thought of going up the Avenue and wanted to get a new bit of road in. Ended up planning a loop of the Forest, down through Eling then back past Deerleap, Ashurst to Bratley then back through Totton. Done the roads before but tend to do it the other direction.
Felt like the wind was in my face the whole way! Quite a lot of bikes out, overtook most of them and 1 only once got overtaken. Going at a fairly decent cadence. Flagging a bit at about half then then got some decent speed heading back towards Totton. A couple of wheatabixs may not have been the best breakfast!

Explore of some new areas
Lordswood through to Chilworth, down towards Asda on a fairly decent trail then tried to explore Hut wood. Got stuck on a narrow track that peetered out to nothing. Eventually go back onto a wide ride and found a way out of the woods to Chilworth. Then back.
Mispaused my watch at one point, so actual ditnce probably a 1km or so further.
Out running in the drizzle, didn't feel too bad. Legs a bit achey after but I think in a positive way. Right knee very slightly niggly.

Back doing some core and balancing
Core felt hard

Lordswood explore - still finding new trials in the woods! A loop through the section west side of the river, then on the mountain bike trails. Legs feeling a bit tired but nice to be out in the woods exploring. Took a tumble at one point!

Greenways loop
Set off and the legs felt pretty tired, hoped they would settle into it. Quite busy on the Greenways tonight. Legs felt the worst they had felt for a while, really tired. A bit different to when my legs have felt achey and painful other times. Couldn't decide what loop to do, decided to go left and make it into the loop past Tescos. At the end of the road decided I felt so bad it was worth heading back, so turned around and went via the hospital. Felt pretty annoyed about it after.
