And if I&#8217;m feeling really great, I can do some intervals, or a speedy ride (yes, I&#8217;ve got a KOM!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, last week I decided what I want to restart my running &#8220;career&#8221;, to take part in some 5km long runs&#8230; Legs are still sore and hurting from the first run in a year&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But! I haven&#8217;t posted anything here in these 2 years&#8230; Now I have decided that I need to devote at least a quarter of an hour a week to this blog to summarize my thoughts on the past week and track my progress (or lack thereof).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">15 minutes is only 0.5% of my free time per week.
