Just before Noon I went to the Post Chapel and picked up a Cannondale road bike from one of the post chaplains. He offered to loan me one of his bikes for the race next Sunday. He is not a racer, but an avid rider. How avid a rider you ask? When I was getting ready to take the bike outside he said he needed to pump up the rear tire. He pulled a floor pump with a pressure gauge from behind the door in his office. A guy who keeps a floor pump in his office is somebody who loves to ride.
I will be going out to ride on Saturday. I did not ride or do any PT on Friday. My shoulder is bothering me and my right foot still hurts from the plantar fasciitis that was bothering me from last October. Joe and Gretchen, the physical therapists who treated me before I left told me to listen to my shoulder. I am trying, but my shoulder never says anything I want to hear.
Listen to your shoulder anyway!
ReplyDeleteFrom Joe and Gretchen. YES, NEIL....listen anyway, but realize also that considering the source one can only listen to SOME of what it's telling you!
ReplyDeleteHonestly let it be your guide to what you should and shouldn't do. Yet, also with our conversation today it seems you need to get "back to basics" with the shoulder and not just playing army. DO YOUR EXERCISES.
Take care, and don't get hurt
