FINALLY! it has been since about november that i have ridden my bike, dr. ma gave me the ok on monday and today was the maiden voyage. i am down the peninsula in san mateo, dog, house and husband sitting for a few days and the bike made the trip - i figure it's better to start on flatter roads and if the sun was out too, all the better. so, i made a date with karen from the pool and she put the bikes on top of the car and we went to Canada and 92 - bicycle sunday, no less :) a bright sunny day with a little breeze and off we went, no more than 15 minutes in and i'm out of breath (*^%#&*(^^@#*&.. it was fun to be out, the shoulder held up fine, it (along with most everything else) was pretty tired when we finished. We rode for about an hour and a half and between 12-18 miles...into woodside and the whiskey hill loop. I was gassed in a big was on the last two "hills" to the car...but gassed is a GREAT place to start! I hope to get out twice more this week.
The shoulder is making slow steady gains, it's pretty weak but feels like it's moving better nearly every day. I also got the green light to swim the breaststroke and have done that a couple of times too - also pretty weak and EVERYTHING is sore the next day. I expect nothing less tomorrow and will smile through every bit of it!
Namaste my friends.
