Taking my doctor at his word, I got on the bike today, one week since my surgery. I put it on the trainer, plugged in the ipod and hopped on for an easy spin. My goal, if all went well, was to spin for 30 minutes. The phone started ringing (my director ) so I got off, acted like I just woke up, and answered the phone. I realized I had been on the bike for 45 minutes! No pain, no discomfort....just out of shape. I have never been so happy to be on the trainer in my life!

So....next test will be a road ride tomorrow afternoon. I plan to go to the only flat road in Madison County & start from there! yay!!!!
