Training isn’t always enjoyable. It can be sometimes all though those times are rare, few and far between. Today I rode the exercise bike in my apartment buildings little exercise room. 25.64 km in 48 min. An ok ride. My goal, sitting on that bike, is always 30 km in 60 min or at least keeping it at that speed: 30 km/h. Today I rode faster than that so I guess I have to be happy.

Tomorrow school starts. From now on and a couple of weeks ahead all I’m going to do is read. Mostly John Rawls – A Theory of Justice. I’m honestly feeling a bit nervous. I have a light case of, if I were to translate directly from a Swedish phrase, achievement anxiety or performance anxiety which is an anxiety over my future, projected, lack of performance (if that makes any sense).

I give you: My own personal little hell (no matter how many km I pedal on that thing it doesn’t move a centimeter…)
