I felt very ill when I got home and had to sit down for an hour to let my metabolism return to normal.
Serves you right for going out with Dougie - that really is asking for pain and suffering .
"If it don't kill you it makes you stronger" as some other cycling bloke said (I think).
Had a grim experience myself yesterday, running, and ended up going to bed at 8.00pm feeling dead . Possibly been overdoing things slightly!!
