i did it! despite my injury of stupidity, i rode to work for the first time this week!
it didn't exactly feel awesome on my burn wound, but the pain was tolerable (i pre-gamed with some ibuprofen).
i was all set to ride yesterday, but we had some pretty hellacious t-storms rolling through (my co-worker's car was totalled by a toppled tree).
being back on the bike after 4 days off is such a glorious feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't even remember the last time i went 4 work days in a row without bike commuting.
feeling kinda tough and proud at the moment. today is supposed to be the hottest, most disgusting day of the year and it would have been very easy for me to throw in the towel and coast through the weekend, but i didn't.
urge to ride > the pain.
