One Year 3 Months Post Surgery

24 Jun

Well, I am continuing to improve. Went on a 25 mile bike ride yesterday. Was not sore or swollen afterward. Really it felt a little stiff, but that was it. The bike ride took about 2 hours and 25 minutes – which is not great, but given the rough terrain of some of the trails and the traffic getting to the park, not too bad. Biking is o.k. I have signed up to do the MS 150 in October to try to get thru the marathon season without feeling too depressed. I am used to training all summer and fall for a November or December marathon. This will give me something that simulates that training routine. The ride will be 70 Miles the first day and 57 Miles the second. I am training to get up to 60 miles between now and then. Still hoping to be running again someday… We shall see. But – I have to say I am pretty happy to be able to bike for 25 miles without pain or swelling. That has to be a good sign!
