Easy and enjoyable roll to work. Must have been a little southerly in the easterly this morning.

After a short roll down to the marina to socialise at the pub, I decided that it made sense to ride home a little harder to make the most of the fact that the seabreeze wasn't a howling gale. felt good riding. Less so after I had finished and dripped all over the floor at home.

Have had the achilles scan. Probably nothing to report there. Still no riding. Couldn't face an early wake-up after a rubbish night's sleep.

Bit of a risk doing this with only a 48hr turnaround since the last run, but figured that it would be a good test of whether I was ready to step up to 20 minutes next week.

Still felt pretty good through this one and I'm really happy with how the legs are feeling between runs and through some of the lessons I have to jump around in.

Exciting, but not unexpected news for hte day is that I am not dying. Large fluid filled cyst on my thyroid that will be cut out at a yet to be advised date. Hopefully so I am horribly scarred for this years school ball :)

C • Who are you taking? 3

Little jog with school running club. 45 starters today. What have we started? Just about niggle free. Felt the tiniest little tightness, but still good. Gonna try back in the new shoes again next time. Slightly more noticeable in left foot again in these shoes...
Have been pulling up well from school lessons, so things seem to be headed in the right direction. Probably a waste having a san tomorrow, but better safe than sorry.

Had planned to ride to work, but was up late doing some carnival administrivia, so loaded the bike in the boot with the windtrainer to hit it after school. Then spent 3 hours at work fighting a computer and printer before a partial victory, but no time left to train.

Home I went, and had a look in the mirror as I was getting out and realised there's actually a reason why I've had a funny tight feeling in my throat for the last few weeks. And it's nothing to do with the renovations going on at my house, or being on the edge of a cold. I have a 5cm lump on my thyroid. Hmmmm. How did I not notice that before?

Off to get some pathology done tomorrow am. Apparently likely to be benign, but also likely to need to chopped out. So no ride tomorrow morning either :(
