An Old Friend
I spent some time with an old friend tonight. We didn’t spend too much time together, but hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other in the near future.
It was such a foreign feeling riding tonight. My butt was uncomfortable, my legs were powerless, and my newly acquired fat around my midsection hangs over my bike shorts when I’m aero. It’s not very visually appealing, so it’s good that I live alone!
My knee still doesn’t seem entirely right. I don’t have any pain per se, but there’s that feeling in my knee that tells me that if I’m not careful, real pain is right around the corner. For now, I’m taking my time methodically stretching and trying to mimic the rehab that seemed to cure my ailments last Spring. Volume and intensity will be extremely low, but I’m telling myself to enjoy it while it lasts. A few months down the road, I’m sure I’ll be wishing that there were more days like this!
