Anyone ride today?

I tried but failed!

Oh, that's a bummer. At least you had running as an option.

I got out for my first - and only - ride in the month of February. On the last day of the month.

Just before we got dressed for the ride, I pivoted with tights in hand, and PING! I threw out my back. Actually, I have this rib that frequently goes out right where it attaches to my spine at mid-back. I just spent two sessions at the chiropractor this past week and was finally getting to the point where I could inhale and not feel as if I were getting stabbed in the back with a knife. And there it went again. Oh. Joy.

So, I spent the last 20 minutes with ice packs on my back, downed 3 ibuprofen pills and off we went to the shop for the ride. The first five miles were great. I felt like it was getting stretched out and was starting to relax. But in the next 5 miles, it started seizing up. Grrrr.

Got in 21 miles - about 10% of my goal for the month - and tonight, it'll be my TENS unit and more ice. Thank you, Pfunk12, for offering to hang back with me in the Park.
