It was super cold and windy but I did it about 9 minutes faster than my goal so I’m proud of myself.

I wanted to take my new trail shoes on my Friday lunchtime run. My Garmin had other ideas. It would not start. I was dancing on the driveway for ages waiting for the beep. It just would not start. When it did finally signal the go I was off like a flash, you probably heard me break the sound barrier as I rounded the corner of the street. There was only me and two other people on the beach when I arrived. A mother and a small child swimming in the surf at the beach, mad, it was freezing out there. They were right in the water not just paddling, I felt cold just watching them. I made it back home and checked my Garmin. It said I had set a new PB. It also said I stared my run from a couple of blocks south of home, yep nah I didn't do that and thanks Garmin I will pass on the new PB. I think the satellite was behind a cloud or something.

Yesterday marked one year post Cauda Equina Syndrome diagnosis, and I had lots of cuddles from my Frenchie puppy because she knew I was upset. Then I went swimming (did my physio exercises, some walking and a tiny bit of "swimming") and walked around part of Decathlon with my mum and nieces. In the afternoon I drove (driving using hand controls rather than my legs feels so natural now) to my friend's and we went to Nando's and had a great time (and I showed off my new CESCI beanie). Then I did my first solo shop at Lidl in my wheelchair (and got soaked getting it in and out of my car).
I was stared at by lots of people whilst using my wheelchair, but I'm proud to use it. Being ambuplegic isn't bad, so why should I care if people comment on me moving my legs or getting out of my chair and taking it apart to put it in my car? Yes, I can walk, but it hurts, and sometimes isn't safe (like yesterday when it was raining badly and Lidl's floors were very slippy and I could've fallen if I'd gone in there on my crutches).
Now I'm in a fair bit of pain and pretty tired after such a busy day (for me, I did 1,342 steps and 1,501 pushes, smashing both my targets). Another positive is that I've been out of the house for the first time in months without wearing incontinence pads and not worried about having an accident because my bladder is getting stronger using the flipflow valve on the catheter, and the Peristeen bowel irrigation is working.
Now just to get through all the emotions today (and the coming week) is going to throw at me since it's the anniversary of my L5/S1 decompression (the surgeon said they were only able to remove about 80% of the compression off my spinal cord) and discectomy. And the potential PTSD caused by my stay on D8 at QMC Nottingham, especially after they nearly killed me with a latex catheter despite knowing about my latex allergy!

June 15, 2023 :: I went on a hike with a friend of mine. We talked about everything and nothing (but mostly everything). Perfect weather, quiet environment (fields and forests) and this needs to be repeated. We saw a few hares 🐇 and unfortunately one dead deer 🦌 😕

Welcome to 2025
I have got one ride done after 4 weeks off. I made 4264 km in 2024 according to the Garmin thing. I think it missed a few as there were glitches. My logs show about 60 km more.
December was busier than usual. I missed rides as there were more important things to do. My second daughter was visiting from Australia for two weeks. We had a few big family things including a lovely Xmas day. That is now done.
Back when I was trying to figure this all out I read some research about resting in the off season. One idea that is very attractive to a lazy person like me was to take a full month off as in doing nothing. The benefit was to allow muscles to recover from any excessive training and they would come back better than before.
At my age getting just to as good as before is a victory.
So I felt no guilt with that excuse in my back pocket.
I have to say that getting going again is a push. So I had to convince myself to go out in the drizzle and 3 degree C cold. I have all the gear and have been out in worse, but it is not pleasant. This is the delayed gratification thing here. Suffer now for pleasure in the future.
It was my airport loop. 33.4 km in moderate wind and I was slow. That is expected after a lay off, and for cool weather. I felt weak of course, but the numbers betray I was not that bad even if I felt weak. Damn numbers.
It is kinda early to set goals. One certainty is I will sign up for that Granfondo. I have done it a few times. I am beginning to feel that if I do not do it I will be admitting mortality. I don't want to go there. This cycling thing has benefitted me in many ways. At my age I am seeing people I know die while I have health that some people admire. I guess not being dead is admirable in a way.
So another loop around the sun droogs. Here we go!
