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.

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!
