Meh!...

I spent the entire weekend on the couch watching TV and surfing on the computer. I came down ill on Friday evening as I stared forward to a weekend off from work. I had great intentions to ride and enjoy the weekend in spite of the harsh cold in the forecast. Much to my dismay, my immune system had other plans.

(Editor's note: Not really sure where this post comes from, but I've always referred to sinus problems as "The Funk.")

....I'm done. At least for this week's race, I'm done. I need to heal the ribs and not abuse them like I did in yesterday's race. Unwisely, I decided to heed the advice of my friends and teammates to "harden up" and entered (and finished) the B race yesterday. In hindsight, not the smartest decision for me.

Let's see, I think it was sometime in late March when I last rode my bike for any length of time. How long is that? Long enough. Too long.

I went back to the doctor the other day. I think he was reasonably pleased with my progress. He gave me the OK to start strength and flexibility work for my neck and shoulders. He also said I could work up to riding my bike again.

Early July. In mid-April I didn't think July would ever get here. My 2nd and hopefully final follow up visit with the doctor is only days away.

There must be a million things that can go wrong with a body. Most of us probably take all of them for granted until one of those things draws attention to itself.

Last night I was celebrating my youngest son's birthday by playing with him and my other sons in the back yard. It is the little things that always seem to cause the injuries.
