How was your August?

[firenze11]

A migraine in the knee sounds awful! I hope that gets better.

Mine was pretty bad cycling wise. Actually, it was no good at all. After falling off my bike I got a little nervous about riding too much before the breast cancer walk. I had a ride scheduled with a friend and had to cancel due to a thunderstorm. Didn't make my triathlon because of walk training (I'm still new to all this training/athletic stuff so I didn't know how to schedule both). Left for school and left my bike at home (I'm still undecided about bringing it to school, maybe in the spring). And I'm still dealing with weird hip pain.

But I also got myself ready for the breast cancer walk. And signed up for spin and swim classes so I'm moving my triathlon dream forward. Got a physio prescription. And I know that I can take my time with becoming a real cyclist, there's no rush, my bike will be waiting for me when I come back (although TE might kick me off for being delinquent with my cycling)

It's good to read about the good month's people have had, though. Keeps me realizing some months are good some are not so good.

I had a great August - my best thus far! I logged 1063 miles. I rode six centuries and lots of shorter rides in between. Typically my mileage really drops off when I return to teaching but I was able to keep my momentum going and logged my third month in a row of 1000+ miles. I pretty excited and tired! September will be a typically month - around 600 mile.

I can reliate, Sundial - except my whole 2008 can be written off, as far as I am concerned (except for my wedding and the week after).

All I know is that you need to keep plugging along and find all the bright spots you can. If you don't feel like putting in long miles, then put in short ones....and hopefully those short ones will turn into longer ones....and longer and longer....

Best of luck!
