Riding and other maladies....

Well, well, well....It's been awhile.

It's been awhile since I blogged because frankly, it's been awhile since I rode. I felt kind of sheepish blogging about something I'm not participating in so why bother. But today I pumped up the tires and off I went.


 I wish I took this route....
Or better yet....

 I wish I had the ability to do this....

But sadly....

This is a more apt description of how I feel.

Injuries are a bummer. Sounds funny to say that I'm injured and riding but my injury isn't FROM riding. Not sure what caused it. 

Could have been several things, maybe the running that I recently took up so that I could run a marathon this fall to honor the death of my cousin. 

Or maybe those box jumps that I decided to start doing so I WOULDN'T get injured. 

Anyways, here I am, pining away about my aging body. The upside is that I've started riding again. Last year my work schedule changed and along with the fading daylight so did the riding. Now with daylight creeping in earlier the thought of riding to work again has been playing with the fringes of my consciousness. 

We'll see...all I know is that for now running is out, swimming takes a trip to town and my bike tires are pumped and ready to go. Officially.....I started today.
