This week has been really busy at work so it was a struggle to get out of bed and get ready and head into the office this morning even though I woke up at 4:30 without an alarm! I did get up about 5:15 and did my weigh in where I was the same weight as yesterday so any day without putting weight on is a good day! I then showered and got dressed then put out the recycling before riding into the office.
When I got to the office I got to work pulling unused cables out of the racks and grabbing an unused switch to use in the new office. I then spent the next hour walking to and from the old office to the new office and back as the security guard who opens the new office was late today. At about 8:15 I gave up and went home and worked from home for the rest of the day.
At lunch time I put the gusset slink 1/2 chain on the StayStrong speed and Style and dialled in the brake ready to ride it tomorrow.
The seat post still needs cutting so that I can slam the seat but I can do that over the weekend and I will use the seat off of the OS20 for the weekend so that I can ride the StayStrong. I also pumped the tyres up to 80 psi with my new pump and it was amazing 😁 I can’t believe that I didn’t buy one 2 years ago when I thought about it!
I am planning to get up early and rucking first thing then I will pop to the track for a bit of a play on the StayStrong and stick it in the container for later and grab the standard and Black Market to bring home as they have been left in the container and are filthy!
I have decided to break down the BlackMarket and get it stripped and powder coated over the winter so that it can be my winter project to get it looking nice and then hang it on the wall or sell it as I have replaced it with the StayStrong now!
By the time I finished work today I was only on 4000 steps so I dragged my son out for a walk around town and by the time i got home I was on 11500 steps so it should be simple to get to 12000 cleaning the house this evening! I am glad that I went out as I am feeling much better now as I was really hurting this afternoon and I was thinking about not walking this evening but I am glad that I talked myself out of being lazy!
I’m getting quite excited to try the StayStrong again with the slammed back wheel and the bigger tyres and I am hoping it feels better now so I can ride it all winter 🙂
Tomorrow I will also get some of my bikes up for sale on ebay so I can start clearing space and getting some money back to start the year with a tidy flat and some money in the bank.
I have just got over 12000 Steps by doing my last 10 minutes backwards walking of the week so I am done for the day 🙂 By the time that I went to bed I was on 12709 steps for the day and I had completed my first week of walking 12000 steps a day and I had averaged 12666 steps for the week over the 5 days so well over the 12000 step goal!
