    I think the difference is that you try to not take time off but you had to this time and your reason for taking it off isn't to ride.

    I've called in sick before and gone out for a walk. Moving around is good for you is how I justify it.

    Maybe riding doesn't help your condition but it does help your health. Right?? I think you're fine.

    Have to agree with teigyr. It's not like you called in sick and took a walk or anything. Just kidding, Jane.
    You had a legitimate reason for taking the afternoon off, and it so happens that you'll have some free time to enjoy a nice ride. It's no different than having extra time after the appt. and spending the time reading, or knitting, or napping. It's your time, and you don't abuse taking off work- so GO RIDE and enjoy it, dadnabit!!!

    I agree too. What could be better for your health than a healthy bike ride. go to your appt and spend the rest of your day guilt free, knowing that you are preserving your health AND sanity....

    Just think of it as the rest of the day as a partial MHD (mental health day) everyone needs those. I took my *cough* day and did what I wanted. Funny thing is my boss did the same thing that day.

    Well, I did go for a spin after PT, and it was one of those rides where I rode strong and felt like I could go forever, which was a nice change after the Tours de Bonk I've met with my last couple of times out. I'm taking this as a sign that a post-PT ride was righteous and good.
