    Happy :)

    Yesterday afternoon I was finally able to go out for a nice little ride. A short 14 miles - but NOTHING HURT. During OR later OR this morning I was also pleased to note that even though I was spinning in an easier gear than normal for me to help protect my leg, I do not seem to have lost much in the way of bike strength I did not clip in, and I missed that.

    Only 2 more PT visits left, and I've come a long ways in the last few weeks. Now I need to step back from the bike for at least a few days so I don't re-injure my leg. It seems to me that this is a real danger for me right now, knowing me

    Great, Catrin. Now don't forget this lesson on the importance of recovery and rest!

    I doubt that I will forget this >2-month long lesson My trainer finally had a few things to say about it all this morning as well. He bided his time until I started feeling better before saying anything.

    The PT has cleared me for lower-body strength training, but my trainer is not comfortable with this just yet. I am listening to him and waiting.

    + 1 million. And listen to your body. Next time something starts to hurt, promise that you'll seek the advice of a professional sooner rather than later.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Surely you knew that chronic pain is a warning sign, or maybe I'm not following you....
