i'm back on me feet again!
i must be on some 80s kick because i keep quoting terrible 80s tunes. oh well. i like the 80s. in fact, i just made an all 80s rockin' cd last night!
i've started running again! the last time i ran was on april 28th which was the day of my half marathon. the multiple stress fractures in both legs have sidelined me WAY longer than i thought. so, i'm taking it slow. really S-L-O-W. i'm gonna follow the rehab plan so i don't reinjure it. i went out for a half mile total on tuesday combining walk/jog segments. i went a little further today. i covered about 2 miles but only ran for about 4.5 minutes total. i feel good. i can't believe how much i miss it! it was a rather interesting night to be out. to the east, was tons of frequent, bright lightning and to the south, was a bright moon and stars. i'd never seen anything like it. everytime the lightning would flash, it would reflect off the wet pavement and light up the night. too cool!
i'm bummed i haven't ridden in a week. it's funny because i've gone all summer not riding for two, three weeks at a time but all of a sudden i rode 4 times last week and now with the wet weather, i've been off the bike for a week. i've gotten the single speed back and have done two rides on it, and i absolutely love it! my legs aren't in the best climbing shape, especially at pontiac, but it's still a blast! i finally put on the carbon riser i've had laying around since last fall and some new esi silicone grips. i hated the ergons and even the specialized knock-off which are a bit smaller. i need to be able to wrap my entire hand around the grips to feel in control. see? i'm i control freak. naw. not really.
anyway, the weekend is almost upon us. i'm not racing maybury because i can't do 3 laps. yeah, weak, i know. but, i'll be there course marshalling so i can make fun of all the suckers suffering in the mud!
