72 miles on bike yesterday - running by end of week? no pain in shin at all, but waiting for PT Barb's permission to start up running again

72 miles on bike yesterday. one puncture caused by brake pad rubbing on tire wall... changed the tire in under 10minutes (lots of practice on tire changes now) and used a GU wrapper as a tire wall; rode the rest of the way using brake and left shoe for braking. i heart my bike. biked to work this morning in the rain. got soaked. loved it.


and the world cup looks better when you watch it on this. oh yes.


and listened to through this

right shin actually feels fine now, and going to continuing icing and biking (loads) through this week and maybe get permsision from PT Barb to run towards the end of the week. Cycling is giving me a great workout so I don't feel so bad missing out on the running, and maybe everything'll be fixed once I've given it this extra time off. I'm looking forward to be running again, but I wonder whether I'll be able to run my age in mileage on my birthday this year. Thats a really long run in only about 5 weeks time. Maybe.

Might do a 106mile bike race/ride on the weekend as a bit of a challenge just to keep the system ticking over so I don't get too fat and slothlike.
