As a wise woman once said...."I can sit on my couch and hurt or I can ride, be active and hurt. I'll take the latter"

While there might be something more to the aches and pains (and only you can decide that), as you push and get better, you're bound to have days when you ache. But, at my age, I assume there always be some. At least when I'm riding I can say it is because I did something to make me healthier.
