My commute weather was great- just needed a windbreaker and shorts in the morning and jersey and shorts in the afternoon, and I loved how energized I felt all morning.... but both Weds and Thurs I pushed myself harder than usual on a steep hill on after-work rides, and now something hurts above my left knee, on the outside of my leg. First cycling-related complaint (aside from saddle comfort issues)..

I probably should have skipped commuting, but I had planned all week to ride to work. I'm going to take a few days off, stretch, take ibuprofen, use an ice pack and hope it gets back to normal.
