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.
