    Whoo hoo! One month to the day after being brushed by a trailer full of lawn mowers and yard care tools being pulled by a pick up, I have had a follow up CT scan and a consult with a neurologist and been told that it is " ok for me to go back to the activities I regularly enjoy as long as I don't do any heavy lifting or straining." Oh fie, does that mean I can't use my brain?

    I spent a happy hour this afternoon fitting my new helmet, checking out BeBe, cleaning the chain, checking tire pressure and putting on her new name decals so I am ready to ride tomorrow.

    I start back with the trainer on Monday with a weigh in and measurements so here's hoping that it isn't too disasterous. I have tried to be good but.... I think the hardest part will be getting up earlier and on a schedule instead of being able to sleep in. who knows, maybe the time off and the heavy cardio intervals I have been doinng for the last week have actually made me a bit stronger.

    Back in the saddle again yee haw!

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!
