Once around the block - #Juneathon Day 28


After working all day yesterday and then virtually heading straight out yesterday evening for a rehearsal, I wasn't getting up early to cycle into work again today. This then posed a dilemma as tonight, I'm due to play in a backing band at a charity concert in Wheaton Aston

Having not seen Sarah or the kids really in the last 24 hours, I didn't think it was fair for me to arrive home and ask for permission to go down the to gym just so I could do something for Juneathon. However, when I arrived home, Sarah hadn't got back from the school run with the kids. A quick check of my watch and I reckoned I had about 10 minutes before they got back.

Due to an unexpected cock-up, the cycling stuff I'd put in the washing machine this morning was still unwashed. I'd obviously knocked the 'cancel' button after trying to turn it on. Legging it upstairs, I changed into a dirty t-shirt and sweatshirt (well I wasn't going to be long enough for anyone to notice and it was only going to get sweaty anyway) and grabbed Sarah's cycling clips for my jeans, intending to do a quick circuit on my bike before Sarah got back.

Just after the roundabout, I saw Sarah coming back with the kids, she didn't notice me but G did and attracted her attention with just enough time for us to have a quick "Where are you going?" / "Once round the block" before I whizzed past (or should that be wheezed - it was up hill). It was a short ride and as I turned the corner back into our road, Sarah and the kids were just arriving home, so I raced G&S to the door.

Not the greatest exercise of the month, but enough to make me feel like I've done something.
