Riding for Fun
This week has included a lot of activities and a quite a bit of riding. While I'm a match for no one, my plans to ride and have fun continue to blossom. I'm feeling better on the bike and getting more comfortable with who I am and what I represent. Yep, I've got the body of a 45 year old husband and father, the legs of a part-time cycling enthusiast, and the mind of someone who knows who they should be in life. What's not to like?
My shoulder pain continues to be bothersome enough that I returned to the ortho surgeon's office for a cortisone shot and another exam. He really thinks we're delaying the inevitable surgery, but being a cyclist himself, he appreciates my desire to keep pedaling during the season. We'll continue to re-evaluate and try to avoid the knife.
All in all, life is good and I'm happy with my life and all of God's many blessings. I hope the same for all of you.
You RULE!
I am sure you realize that more now than ever. Your words echo the sounds of someone in control (not someone being controlled).
I think you are wrong about being a match for no one though. You family probably thinks you are a better match than ever!
I am dealing with some shoulder pain myself, but I think I just can have not yet succeeded in identifying what stupid thing I am doing to aggravate it. I am learning that I do a lot of stupid things. I am trying to eliminate some (falling down stairs and breaking toes is a recent example).
Keep strokin' the pedals
You are in control and when your ready to move you know you have the power...sometimes its good to just go for long easy rides...pretty much my training all this year.
If ya make it out to St. Chuck area hit me up, I'll ride with ya....I am a youngin' at almost 42.
