I went out today for the first time in a week, just to test the old leg out. Took my Ibuprofen about an hour before I went and then just spun my legs for 10 miles. Nothing intense, no hills and no time constraints, and it all went well.
So far I have felt no pain or discomfort in my leg and as long as its ok in the morning, I'm going to go out again.
Hopefully after a week or two of this I will be able to bring up the intensity!

Bursitis!
Well I've just met the first hurdle in my training so far! For the last few weeks I've had a pain in the back of my leg... Almost directly behind my knee, that only occurs when in the saddle.
After a quick visit to the doctor today, he has diagnosed Bursitis. This is basically when the little fluid filled sacs between muscle and bone become inflamed due to excess fluid, and is likely to take up to 6 weeks to heal!
I have been advised that I should continue training at a reduced intensity until it starts to feel alot better, so I should at least be doing some training still.
On another note, I received the list of packages from the holiday company yesterday, so its all getting a little bit more real now!
