And I Would Run One Hundred Miles

[Charliecat5]

...

You could just plod round the field, dial one in, book the miles and feel good about it.
Or, you could throw in some sprints, work your arse off for half an hour and shift some of that lard.

Taken aback by this self-rebuke, I decided to do just that.

...

And just what did your orthopaedic surgeon have to say about that?

You sir, are a worry.

Screw him, he's a cyclist 

I was just about to text you to see if you fancied a late afternoon romp up to Blackcap with a return via Hamsey and the river (a new route).  But you've already hit the hills and skidded the slopes, so to speak.
