Why couldn't I be bothered this morning?

It's not work is it?

I have no problem setting out on my commute, I just don't particularly want to arrive at my destination

lol nah its not work. I dont actually mind being here... most of the time.
No, it was just a feeling of urgh, i really cant be bothered with the next 8 miles etc. which didnt seem to pass as i got closer to work.
I think the dull depressing clouds didnt help either after a very bright sunny weekend...

going to take a slight detour of my route on the way home which will hopefully mix things up a bit, so have that to look forward too as im going past a park

Well I managed to get home and in contrast to this morning really enjoyed the ride.

It was piddling it down and I took a different route, but still really enjoyed it

I woke up this morning and thought uuurgh can't be bothered going to work today, then realised i was unlikely to go out on the bike if i stayed home with " notmanflu" ( i.e. nothing wrong but can't be bothereditis ) . got up and felt better, got on the biker and had a great ride in. cars stayed behind me, without beeping or revving when i rode primary where i have to. buses gave me room as they passed. A Skip lorry ( OK its Bywaters and the drivers there don't seem to be the usual homicidal maniac drivers) gave me a huge space when he passed me.

I would have missed all this had i stayed home. works still a bind though , but we all have them sort of days.

at times like this it always helps to recall all the poor sods packed into the train and paying upwards of £3+ for the fun of it.
Why would you not rather be having a nice cycle ?

Okay, well there is your issue...you need to manage your expectations.

Ever been to see a film that you couldnt wait to see, heard rave reviews about and loved the trails for...only to be totally dissapointed.

Same thing.

you set your morning ride up as a new exciting chance to try out new grear only to realise a few miles in that it was just the S/S/D/D.

whereas your expectations for the ride home were awful, hence the actual experience could only be an improvement.

So that's your problem...Simples.

now, if you figure out how to solve it can you let me know too.
