Seemed like a lot

It was only 15 miles, but it was the first of ANY kind of miles in a long time!

Nice day and I stayed awake!

You see, this new talk show host gig has me getting up between 3:00 and 3:30 in the morning, Monday through Friday to do a morning-drive radio show on News-Talk 1490 WOSH in Oshkosh. Not exactly a lot of time to ride this late summer. Between that and the rest of my injured left leg muscle the bike became a stranger to me.

15 miles felt awkward today, but I must say that the rest is helping the injury. While it STILL hurts enough to impair everyday life (putting on socks is an adventure some times) it felt the best it has felt in a long time while out there riding today. There was hardly any pinch of pain in the pedal stroke on that side.

Not sure how often I will get back on the bike, but this is a nice time of year for riding, so we'll see.
