Commute 4/16/08

Greetings All!

Finally, what a haul. There are guys at my work that have been carrying this crud around for weeks! It’s been just shy of two weeks off the bike. I got that little dabble in on Sunday, but then had to take the next two days off to try and recover and kick this crud. I’ve Just been feeling like I completed an olympic triathlon, wiped out! Today was the 1st real day of cycle commute and work to boot. I was hacking up my lungs while riding, but at least I was strong enough to do it. I’m coughing up a storm, but nuthing’s coming up? I’m Getting 6 pack abs though from all this damn hacking.

Hopefully this junk is behind me, and I get back to being focused on something besides my sick arsk. The rides will start coming again with regularity, and so will the posts. I’m way behind the eight ball, guys who are whupping my butt at cross were riding the Ronde while I was curled up under the blanket, but there’s nothing I can do about it except start from where I am. Get back to training and riding. I need to start getting my butt back in shape and start climbing, there’s nuthing like a series of big lung busting, leg burning climbs to put a smile on your face! I guess if I suffer, I feel like I’ve contributed positively to the overall goal. Like putting a deposit into your good karma account. I like the pain cave, I guess I’m a masochist that way, if I’m not suffering then I’m not worthy of getting better in cross. Which by the way is 5 months from Sunday.

5 months from Sunday! Where has the time gone? Sheesh! Careful Jimbo, don’t get into too big of a hurry to get it all back, it’s going to take a little time, be patient. You’ll not be killin’ it in two weeks.
