Right after the last post I got sick. First a virus, then sinus and ear infections. Last Thursday I felt well enough to "exercise", so I walked for a half hour. Friday I ran two miles - very slowly. Saturday I walked for 20 minutes.
Yesterday, I actually got to cycle! Eight whole miles. My legs felt like lumber. My hiney got chafed. What a wimp!
Now I am really scared about the Century in April. Only nine weeks to prepare. The only saving grace is that I have reasonable cardio conditioning and endurance.
Another neat thing: the new aerobars really helped relieve pressure on my hands. I had tried different gloves, seat and handle bar angles, padded tape, and vibration dampers. They helped a bit, but I have a mild case of carpel-tunnel syndrome.
And: no flat tire!
Today I ran 5K, but still not up to pre-sickness pace.
