Not Much To Say

I don't have much to say today - I gained 3.8lbs since the 4th of May - Haven't been real good nutritionally, haven't been real good physically, drank too much a couple of times... I pretty much got out of the last two weeks exactly what I put into them, basically nothing outside of a few bike rides... Doesn't mean I'll quit trying...

FTF, and KTF

Quick Update - Pain

We'll we went out for 15 miles on Monday night and I have felt NONE of the pain I was feeling on Sunday so I anticipate smooth sailing from here on out, I made a slight adjustmet to my seat and position on the pedals and all is good...

APRIL - HUMMMMMM

April was an exact ZERO, no gain, no loss.... Hummmmm, not totally sure how I should feel about that.... Basically I took two weeks off for Rest and RELAXATION and then made the last two weeks of the month count for 7 pounds. I guess I really have nothing to complain about - The vacation was AWESOME and planned and a much needed break from the GRIND, it did more for my mental health than anything you can imagine. LIFE IS GOOD...

Eric busted my ass about getting back on the trail again since summer is fast approaching and I was glad he gave me the boost to get it going again. Did 16 miles on Thursday night and then 24 on Saturday, oh, did I mention I purchased a new bike, one that actually fits me, WOW, that makes trail riding a whole lot more interesting. The last bike really made me work and struggle at times due to it simply being a standard sized mountain bike ( I couldn't get the seat high enough and it always felt like a elephant riding a trike. :-) I bought a new hybrid and the size is perfect for me, I LOVE it. My QUADS were a little sore on Sunday but I plan to go again tonight...

I do have a little something going on in my left hip/pelvis though. Its hard to describe but its a shooting pain where it feels like I lose strength in that joint for a second or two. It is pretty painful but only lasts a couple of seconds. It happened 5 or 6 times over the course of the day on Sunday, it doesn't last long, maybe 2 seconds and then its gone. Haven't felt it when riding and have done some research online to try to figure it out, could be a couple of different things so we'll see how it goes after another couple of rides and a bit of adjusting of the point of my seat. It may just be getting used to being back on the trails but we'll keep an eye on it and let you know. If all goes well we plan to take the Wabash Trail in Council Bluffs on the infamous TACO RUN this Thursday or maybe next Thursday. More to come on that in the next few days.

I am looking for bigger and better things for the month of MAY, our 17th anniversary is next Saturday and I sure plan on celebrating 17 more if not 37 more.... :-)

Until next time I will continue to FTF and KEEP THE FAITH...
