Becky, I feel your pain!! At least this week, it is only figuratively, rather than literally. . . .
I am continuing to knock on wood, and this week at least it seems to be working. Did a pretty intense bric Thursday, ran a slow 12 Friday, took two spin classes Saturday (don't ask -- subject for another blog post maybe), rode 75 miles in Dutchess and Columbia counties Sunday, and today did a recovery spin and swim. The good news is I stayed on the bike, and don't appear to have aggravated anything. The bad news is that I am still slow. This time two years ago, I rode two centuries at 18 mph. Yesterday, I was pretty gassed after 75 miles at just under 16 mph. We did get drenched in a pouring rain for the first 20 miles and then again from 30-35. I also took a wrong turn and added in a bonus climb. Still, I was a good deal faster not too long ago. That's what a long layoff and a series of injuries will do, I guess. Here's hoping for continued forward progress . . .
Becky, take care of yourself. At some point your foot will recognize that, try as it might, there's no stopping you!!
