(Very Slightly) Under The Weather

Another manic track session tonight and one that I’m feeling a bit under the weather for. It’s rare that I pick up a cold or anything like that but it seems I’ve got a bit of something at the moment.

First I drop L at Derby Hospital to visit her brother, she then runs from there to the track.

My minor ‘illness’ means I don’t seem to have the necessary stamina tonight to mix it at the front for long periods. At least I hope that’s the reason and it’s not down to either general fitness or my new bike not being up to scratch.

My Dad again turns up to support and we go to the Exeter Arms for a beer afterwards. My Dad presents us with a 20^th Anniversary bottle of whiskey from him and Mum. Bless em.

We round the night off with our customary Sunday night curry.

Still Under The Weather

We go to the Forest Rec parkrun, where a still under the weather L does another under the weather time and I chuck balls. 

After coffee in their cafe, I take the boys home and head off to yet another lunch time kick off where Derby County are trying to resurrect their faltering season at home to Brentford. The Rams salvage a 1-1 draw with a very late undeserved equaliser. As resurrections go, it's hardly majestic.

In the evening, we stay in to rest our dubious health before the Derby bike ride tomorrow. Beer stocks are that low at home so I have to resort to L’s Leffe, which she eyes suspiciously as that is one of the things she blames for her illness.
