I'm a rebel? Really?

Well, today I can feel my pinky (it's still a little tingly) and I think I can feel that area of my back that's numb a wee bit. I sat in the cruel seat in the jacuzzi this a.m. and by gosh I could feel a jet hitting the left side.

MP, interesting about the contacts thing and endurance cycling. No amount of drops seemed to help during that latter part of the ride or even afterwards. It might have been a combination of the wind and contacts. In any case, it was a pretty big deal problem. Not being able to see is not good. Thankfully I could see enough to focus on the wheel/bike in front of me. My eyes are fine now though a little "gummy" still.

I woke up feeling pretty good today, and after the jacuzzi and about 40 minutes of stretching, I decided to go for an easy mountain bike spin on the singletrack here by my house. Did the climb up, legs felt strong, and I wasn't really tired. Rode across the top and got to the part where you have to ride down into the canyon. There is a section there that has gotten pretty loose and dusty and it has big round rocks/boulders about 6-10" in diameter strung about. Next thing I know I'm flying off the side of the bike and hit the ground--on my feet. But in the process I twisted my left ankle, though not badly. I was able to finish the ride OK and now I'm sitting here with it elevated and wrapped in ice. This is the exact same spot where a gal I know broke her hand about a month ago.

Good thing that didn't happen last week!
