Giving it a go
I went out and rode 60 miles today. The first 30 was on my own and I rode down and over Sweetwater. I felt really good, and just felt a dull ache in my lower leg. I then rode a couple of extra flat miles and then met Claire back at the house for a ride into Healdsburg via Starr Road. It was a good ride, but quite a headwind on the way out. We had a small pizza at Oakville Grocery in downtown Healdsburg. At $8 it was a great deal and filled us both up. We came back on Westside Road and didn't get the tailwind that we deserved. When we got back home I put on my running stuff and went out for a run. I didn't know what to expect, and at first I was happy to feel good with no pain. Then I started getting little pulses of intense pain in my lower leg. I turned around when I had counted 10 of them. I ended up with 3 miles. If I can fix that pain, I will be content with my current fitness. I will be heading into the physical therapist on Wednesday. Let's hope that they can figure something out. I am hovering around 13.6 stones, and would be quite happy to lose that 2/3 of a stone. Actually after the ride and run, I weighed approximately (10 + pi) stones, which is a strange coincidence. Anyway, here is a picture of my route from mapmyride.com, which always makes me think of that tv show called pimp my ride. I know I should just link to it, but my web browser doesn't want to.
