For the
first time in a month, my shoulders did not absolutely kill when I used
them for something, in this case moving garbage cans. This week, in
fact, has felt better physically. I have been able to get on the bike 3
times and get back to Master's Swimming. That went a heck of a lot
better than I thought it would have. I managed to stay in my regular
lane and even lead a solid portion of the sets. Definitely lost the
feel for the water over the summer. But I think that'll come back
pretty quickly. As I said, it could have been a lot worse. And with the
pain I have been dealing with, this was actually ... fun.
I also finally received a new set of shifters for my race bike so I
began setting that up. I stripped a wire running it through the housing.
Pain in the back, because I was trying like heckto be careful with the
old wire to reuse it. Oh, well. Have to get at least one new one. I
haven't ridden that bike all year. It's been in dry-dock since last
September. Typically I go to my road set-up in the off-season any how,
but the off-season lasted all summer this year. Now I have to figure
out the running stuff again. The swim and bike feel pretty good for
now....
More soon,
MW
