Weak Excuses

Being of a lazy disposition means that when one part of my brain comes up with a reason to get out and train another part will come up with five reasons why not to.

This Sunday was no exception. The night before was my sister's fortieth birthday party. A more disciplined me would have cut myself off after two drinks and left before midnight. The lazy me however continued on until 3am.

The next morning I blearily informed a training partner that I was begging off due to a sore head. This was valid but if I absolutely had to be out there I could have done it.

That kind of behaviour and excuse making won't wash in three months time but my indolent reasoning was that I still had seven months to make up the difference.

Monday was an unremarkable training ride except for it being the first time I have used Strava - http://app.strava.com/rides/2580969.  It looks like a great tool especially with the segments that pit you against yourself and others.
