I came home late last night from Canberra so struggled out f bed just after 5am. I was out the door on the bike at 5:50am. Rode from Terrigal to Orimbah via Kincumber west gosford then got to Wyoming & got a bloody flat tyre, then fixed that the got to Gosford pool & got another flat!

Made my way to Canberra for a couple of days of work. Left just after 4:30am. Stopped at Campbeltown first around 6:15am for a 60min workout on the cross trainer then hopped in the pool for a bit.
Sciatica was sore after all the driving but felt much more relaxed than it has been. I can feel it improving but still got a long way to go

Thursday rest day number 18

Just did a cycle class & 10min on the cross trainer. I then spent 10min in the steamroom.
Sciatica was painful when I woke up but got much better after moving around
I did notice for about 2hrs around lunchtime it felt the best it's felt in months but for some strange reason the pain came back
At least it's showing signs of improvment
