Back Update

Thanks everyone, I am indeed counting the days. The doctor did tell me he wants me to walk for my recovery (I just hope it doesn't flare the heelspur UGH) Good news as soon as I'm cleared for the trainer, it's already on the trainer so I won't have to wrestle the bike onto it. It's a heavy bike so I don't want to have to fight that right away. I also hope that I'm not restricted when I start riding to not being able to use the front rack on the bus (lifting the bike on and off) That may restrict some of my riding as I really prefer NOT riding westbound from town or at certain times of the day/evening on the street I have to use to get to and from town.
Silver, this Marlin523 is my former band director and sometimes mentor (when I found out he was retiring after 33 years of teaching and was a strong cyclist at 56, I figured if he could ride so could I)

You are currently WAY ahead of him in the standings at Bikejournal for Indiana. I have the yellow premiere member jersey so I can check the enhanced stats he only has 599 miles for the year so far so you're kicking his you know what
Last year I challenged him to see who would get the most mileage for the year and until my back went out at Thanksgiving, I had nearly 400 miles ahead of him. He ended up beating me by 50 miles at the end of the year. I've been watching the rankings at bikejournal and right now you are the number 9 rider in Indiana that lets their mileage be public AND the number ONE female rider for the state. I held that rank last year for the entire year. Congrats!! Oh, and BTW, I see you rode 102 miles AWESOME!!!!!! Congrats on the century.

Wishing you well Mary. I am very glad to hear you have been cleared for surgery. The time will fly by.
