Ow ow ow ow ow!!!

I've hurt my back!! I think its all this lifting heavy boxes (I am currently moving in with Grant!) So as a result I think I am going to have to rest from the bike! My training has been a bit hit and miss to be honest! But now its going to be all miss until I can get into see my physio! I am supposed to be doing a 50 mile organised ride with mum on Sunday aswel but at this rate I don't think i'll be able to!!

I went out last Sunday and did 21 miles and felt fine! But before that I hadn't been out since the Friday before.
That was my birthday and as a treat(!!) Grant took me on a 45 mile ride. My longest so far!! It was fine and I felt like I was riding really well, until we got about 8 miles from home and I had the worst cramp in my hip I have ever experienced!! I tried to ride it off - as I was going up a hill at the time but I really started to struggle and the tears started!! Grant had to give me a bit of a push but I was determind not to stop until I got to the top!! I managed it and when I got there Grant gave me some Kendal Mint Cake to give me a bit of energy and I had a bit of a shake out then we were off again. Grant said I did really well, he thought he was going to have to push me a lot more than he did!!

The Saturday before that, Mum & I with some friends of ours, Sally & Sue, went for a 2nd session of bag packing in M&S Food Hall in Milton Keynes. We raised £185 in 2.5 hrs. It was really quiet for a Saturday though. Still, we did very well and that money has now been deposited into out respective Just Giving accounts. A BIG thanks to Sally & Sue for their sterling efforts. Sue was like a rottweiler with a bone, she wouldn't let go and Sally said she now knows what rejection feels like!!

So i think thats it from me at the moment!!

Please keep your fingers crossed that my back heals soon!!
