I am such a jock!

Not only am I "a jock" but I'm a "dumb jock" because I meant to put that in a new thread!!!

Kit, helmet hair is sexy.

KSH -- where were you riding?

We went out to Cedar Hills for the Ride for the Hills Bike Rally.

There are a lot of bike rallies coming up, where you can do a 20-30 mile route, on your hybrid. Might want to check it out.

About your wrist... you are a jock... and athlete. Better safe than sorry. ANYTIME I have hurt myself, I have rushed to the Dr. the next day.

My body is my machine, my tool... and I should respect it and take care of it. If it's running funny, I let a Dr. look at it.

Go to a Dr. It should be fine, but you need peace of mind that it is.

Pooks, the massive bruise from my no speed tip over onto the rocks has nearly healed. Yup, I'm a jock too! haha

As for your wrist, when recovering from my broken humerus, I learned that shooting pain, even if it's not super intense, if it is sharp and shooting, it is a sign of something quite wrong; maybe an inflammation of a tendon or ligament; but maybe worse, of a fracture.

Once a broken bone is ruled out by x-ray, I always think that a physiotherapist knows better what to do with malfunctioning and injured joints than a doctor does.

Ice and anti-inflammatories can help, but you'd really be mad at yourself if it was something serious that ends up plaguing you later.

A real jock would get it checked out.

Hugs and healing butterflies,

Okay. I hope waiting 24 hours isn't too long. (wry grin)

I beg to differ, girl! You are riding; you are training. That is no joke!

I felt like a jock this week when I told my two older brothers (who are pretty strong, do a lot of liftiing and cardio classes at the gym) that I rode my bike to the top of Hurricane Ridge over the weekend. They're not cyclists, so even though they can kick my a$$ in the gym, they think this makes me a jock!

I felt like a jock when some guy in pickup truck gave me this fist pumping thing and said, "I've got to hand it to you. That's dedication and I think what you're doing is MAGNIFICENT!" I was headed home, but that made me feel so good that I rode 10 more miles.

I'm such a jock....

...that one time on a bike ride, I threw out my back spinning around to follow a cool bird as it flew across the street!
Oooooo....
Creeped home and made an emergency call to my chiropractor!
Oooooo.....
