New Routines and old rides

It’s been a couple of week since my last post. Been crazy around my world. Moving to a new place, getting my kiddo in a new school, still adjusting to the new job, and trying to get my old house ready for renting out.

This is labor day weekend and I am spending it doing house work, yard work, and hot yoga every day. Today is Sunday and I decided to take a little time for myself and take a bike ride across downtown to a little bakery and get some coffee and pastry. I rode my first road bike and want to investigate ways on how I can make it more durable for the city. Focus not so much on speed, but more on just surving potholes, cracks, bumps and gravel better. I’ll definitely post that process.  Functional riding will be a core part of my training plan when I am returning to Triathlons.

I also should enable some form to allow feed back to these posts. Not even sure how many visitors are reading these posts or are they just words in the void.

 

So how’s the knee doing?

Well…It’s okay. I’m working really hard on not walking with a limp. Getting full extension on my right leg is the key to having a smooth walking stride. Also I think I have built a habit of walking with a limp that I have to consciously work on for a while.

Mornings are tough to get out of bed. The first 10 minutes or so I am achy and it is sore. reminds me of when I was fighting Plantar Fascitis. Once I get moving, it’s not too bad though.

PT is going well, but I had to talk with Jon last time. I’ve moving to an every other week schedule with PT and wanted homework to do. I want to get stronger and I feel I can be making more progress than I am. Not phoning this process in.
