"....... In pain"

+ infinity

Been fighting left knee/hamstring issues for weeks and therapy didnt help much. Time to get back on the bike and say to heck with the pain. Cowboy up and ride dangit.

On that note I almost called you for a last minute ride today. If it wouldn't have been last minute I would have actually called. Little did I realize you were in the mood to man up.

....did hill repeats on that hill you liked so much.

Alien ... so that's what softened you up on the Dare. I figured something was up. Heal well and fast.

Sore from playing tennis for over 3 hours. I can serve and hit a backhand if I don't extend my shoulder too much (reach too high). If I do, my strength goes from weak to zero. It's really funny. My opponents kept trying to hit high shots to my backhand. Hurt like he**. The good news is I can still serve OK. With a little work (proper exercises) I think I'll be able to play tennis.

...just getting back to riding after a couple of months of staying up late watching 10 seasons of SG1. Wii Fit says I gained over 15lbs in the last 33 days So I rode into work this morning...holy crap I'm slow. This is going to be painful getting back into shape for the BFNIC group rides.

I've got a notably more optimistic outlook. Too much gloom in this thread. I just set my personal best 20 minute average power for a trainer, only 9 watts off my outdoor peak last summer. It was kind of a weak point last year though.

No worries until you start shaving your ears.

Really!

I really don't care what color my hair turns as long as it stays in my head. So far so good.

1) Glad I don't have kids yet.
2) Enjoying the way my legs feel after my first road ride of the year. Only 15 miles, but it's a start.

on day 11 of being sick. Started out with horrible fever and flu, which has now turned into a secondary infection of bronchitis and sinus infection... great

Other than a few days I have made it to work, I have been in bed. I am not happy about this!
