Just woke up now and feel so proud of myself for having biked for my night shift now. The ride home was amazing, yeah I was tired after only 3 hours of sleep but the sun was out even if it was still cool. I took my time, got lost trying without realising on a new way but still ended up where I wanted to be.
Even the long hill wasn't as hard as I wanted, although I avoided the steep one. I was breathing hard when I got home but still in a really relieved way. I just felt great. Still do. This is exactly what I needed. I know if I had taken the car I'd still be frustrated AND lacking exercise.
