Anyone ride today?

I tried but failed!

Oh, that's a bummer. At least you had running as an option.

I got out for my first - and only - ride in the month of February. On the last day of the month.

Just before we got dressed for the ride, I pivoted with tights in hand, and PING! I threw out my back. Actually, I have this rib that frequently goes out right where it attaches to my spine at mid-back. I just spent two sessions at the chiropractor this past week and was finally getting to the point where I could inhale and not feel as if I were getting stabbed in the back with a knife. And there it went again. Oh. Joy.

So, I spent the last 20 minutes with ice packs on my back, downed 3 ibuprofen pills and off we went to the shop for the ride. The first five miles were great. I felt like it was getting stretched out and was starting to relax. But in the next 5 miles, it started seizing up. Grrrr.

Got in 21 miles - about 10% of my goal for the month - and tonight, it'll be my TENS unit and more ice. Thank you, Pfunk12, for offering to hang back with me in the Park.

It was great to see you and ride with you! Hope your back feels better. I ended up doing just over 38 miles. Went up Mormon Hill with Eric and the second time up, it was tough and it hurt
