With my health concerns largely out of the way I actually had a desire to get on the bike this evening and train rather than obligation.

My training wasn't particularly long. Only one hour. But I did three good 10-minute intervals. I certainly could have done more work but the last few weeks have been a little lighter than normal for workload and I didn't want to overdo it.
