I am such a jock!

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.....

Well, I felt like a jock the other day when I fixed my first flat all by myself- and got the tire back on the rim with my bare hands!!!!

But then again, my one and only fall so far was also at 0 mph. The very first time I stopped after trying my PowerGrip foot straps. Came to a halt, started thinking too much and....TIMBERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Not very jockesque.

Ok yes I know I have now jinxed myself by saying I've only fallen once.
Wish me luck on my next fall which now will likely come any day.
