"We have it in our power to begin the world over again"

Had a nice leisurely 40 odd mile cycle ride this afternoon, first out into the Dorset countryside, down to Poole, along the harbour to Sandbanks, then up the seafront to Christchurch and home via the Avon valley.

And t-shirt weather to boot, not bad for early March !

Took the folding bike for a spin around the hillier bits of the New Forest, so nice I ended up going around the block to my former college, Brockenhurst college and back.
Did about 50 km over a couple of hours, perfect cycling weather, in the 60s in the late afternoon and still 50+ at dusk when I got home :-)

In the unseasonably warm March weather, I ran for about an hour. The wood trails I sometimes run to and do a five km loop were dry, air was smelling strongly of earth and pine. I haven't felt this good about running since last September.

With you, Languish, as my witness, I wow to do at least one long-distance race this summer/fall season. I'm not sure I feel like the traditional 30 km race at Lidingö, but I certainly feel like a half-marathon or two.

It was like a June day here, popped out and did some 35 miles noodling around the Dorset countryside.

I looked at bikes in Fort Collins today. 
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

My ankles hurt when I run now. This has never happened to me before.  :(

Why not get or use a bike for a while, thus giving it a rest.  :cool:

Is 19% body fat acceptable for an ordinary man?

What about for a gay man? :P

Ordinary men don't know their body fat percentage.
