    Just one of the reasons to watch pro cycling:

    Day 19 of #DoddieAid - didn’t get to Zwift tonight, because work.

    Today’s miles: 3.07
    January miles: 173.47

    If I say now that I will ‘run’ 5k after work tomorrow is it more likely to happen?

    We cannot get wired broadband at home, so we gave Starlink serious consideration. Coincidentally my wife wants another cat. 🤔

    Finished reading: The Girl With The Louding Voice by Abi Daré 📚

    At times a sweet, coming of age tale of a young Nigerian girl; but also a sequence of harrowing life events that shouldn’t happen to a 14 year old girl - but in reality are all too common.
