Right, first off, I must admit that I type this post on a friday night, accompanied only by a cup of coffee. Don't worry, my future wife is going to find me, rather than the other way round. I hope. Staying in my flat may limit chances now but I believe that once i have started walking I begin to look. Lets face it, I need a wheelchair, and am no longer a fit, young, twenty-something. Things change. But, hey it'd be boring otherwise!
Ok, sorry about that rant. I warn that I no longer press 'delete' whilst typing these posts. I am confident that i can talk rubbish and make it sound interesting.
The post title refers to my use of my gym/stationary bike earlier. I have been recently using it in a way to build power. I would usually ride for 20mins in quite a high gear. Today I rode back down in the same gear that I used to in the rehab home (18 months ago). I used to have fairly lowly personal records (which today i beat easily). Since injury, I have always had a problem with balance of power produced by each leg (i remember having a 95/5 % imbalance). I have known that I have been improving this balance, but there has always been an imbalance. Until today! I haven't been specifically trying to balance the power levels (almost impossible, if you consciously attempt to). I just assess the stats, at the end. Today 50/50 naturally, without conscious effort. CONGRATULATIONS ME!!!
A good sign, i think.
I link todays music sample in to my post. As I was playing REM this evening, quite loud, i recognised one of the wonders of living alone. I know that I am encouraged by my physio, to sing, but the main reasons to do so are that I have no fear whatsoever of being heard, and I enjoy 'participating' (previously when I could play guitar, I didn't sing).
"So, Andy did you hear about this one?"
REM with Chris Martin (although REM feat Patrick Goodacre is better!!)
