I actually shed a tear this morning, because 4 months ago today I had my accident and it was not only questionable if I'd ride again, it was questionable if I would walk... or even live.
This scene made me feel truly thankful for everything that life has given me.

Been absent a few days. Read back a little. Hope everyone is doing well.
Got myself a Kickr trainer and PerfPro to go along with it. Really enjoying it so far. That sucker can clamp down. I think it makes virtual climbing harder than similar gradients outside. I'm ok with that. I think this is going to be a great tool for training this winter. Big fan so far.

Life is going to get interesting!
Found myself an amazing woman who thinks I'm a fantastic guy, who would have thought that lol
She's not a cyclist, but gets the dedication since her oldest daughter was a national level swimmer and she was a junior national coach. It's going to be an interesting year for sure. Nice to find someone who is supportive and appreciates the support and love I give her.
Good times north of the 49 right now

Today is my birthday, so I chose to take the morning off at work. The CEO is Canadian and hates America, otherwise it would be a holiday.
This morning I slept in and rode for a few hrs. It's quite nice out. Up next: half-day at work, then some b-day beers with coworkers. Tonight the GF is taking me out to dinner.
Yay me.

After a few months of relative back health, today was a disaster. Long car ride followed by a bad motel bed and then too much coffee -- then this morning I stretched a little bit in the wrong direction and blammo, I can practically feel the disc herniating itself between my shoulder blades, hurts to move or even breathe.
Aleve, a bunch of lying on a hard floor, and then some careful counterstretches and the pain got manageable. Then an hour ago, I did the same stretch without thinking and blammo again. Counterstretched right away, which helped immediately, but it still hurts and feels super delicate and edgy. I feel like my spine is a stack of Jenga blocks just waiting for a bunch of pieces to slide sideways and collapse.
I doubt this is portable to anyone else's back pain, but the counterstretch that seems to almost push the disc back towards where it is supposed to be, is simply to grab something at chest height (steering wheel works, if driving) and try to push the shoulders straight down towards the hips, making the spine convex forwards, like a letter C if looking from the left side. Lying on my back and rolling the spine over a roller accomplishes much the same thing but is far, far more painful.
