The road back
It’s been nearly two months since I last posted anything here. I’m now fine physically, though in that time I’ve ridden only about 250 miles and run 30 — which, in the general scheme of things, is very little for this point in the summer. I had a rib contusion from the accident that bothered me for the better part of a month, and exerting myself for more than five minutes was painful.
On a more positive note, I rode 53 miles today and it felt easy. The running ability gets lost more quickly and that will take months to recover. And, I’m back to a more regular routine of at least three days’ exercise per week (probably should be five or six). I’m signed up for a couple of long rides in September and I’m on Michele’s running relay team for the Asbury Marathon in October, so I can’t stop now.
