My [Mostly] Daily Journal

It seems I’ve forgotten to post, at least somewhat daily, what has been going on as of late. So here goes a little something, at least for today.

Not much is going on. I did manage to finally get out on the road this past weekend, riding 30 miles on Friday, and another 50 on Saturday, but I didn’t want to over do it, so I took Sunday off, and ran 4 miles on the treadmill instead.

My hand, while the cuts are healing, is still swollen, and it doesn’t seem to be improving, at least not so much as I can see. It’s not overly uncomfortable, but it is a hindrance to my bike riding. Plus I can’t stop picking at all the dead skin as the hands heals.

In the mean time, I will be back out on the bike this Wednesday, hoping to see improvement some time soon.

Here I sit at home another day, unable to go for a bike ride, and my hand showing little if any improvement.

This is very frustrating! Now I am really starting to doubt my decision to have this operation.

Well tomorrow I get the stitches out, and I’ll see what the doctor has to say. In the mean time, I guess I’ll just sit here and mope!

Here it is Friday morning, and again I have committed to riding this morning, with Rocky this time (Edgar had a run in with a truck on Monday, and isn’t feeling too good), and I would really rather not.

But that always seems to be the case lately, so I guess I better just suck it up, and start getting ready.

At least this AM, it’s not my body telling me not to ride, it’s my mind.
