PMS Symptoms

Actually the route he said is much easier. I just hadn't driven that way for awhile and thought there wasn't any shoulder as the same road out of town going west doesn't. The bonus is that there is a new quilt shop that way about 10 miles. That would make a good goal over the next few months or so. Will bike for fabric.

Since it's too hot to ride, I just walked a mile today.

Took the celexa last night and it just made me loopy, but it will take a couple of weeks to get into the system unless I get lucky and it only takes a week.

Why does he think you should go easier? I mean, resting an overuse injury is good, but it sounded like he was saying "Little lady, you are doing too much... just ride 5 miles." It sounded a bit condescending, you know cyclist doctor telling a woman to "go slow," when maybe all you need to do is rest a few days, do some stretching, etc. The only way to get stronger is to do more.

Crankin - according to the OP, the doc "cycles some" - so how much is "some?" Five miles?

Just to throw more into the mix, I'm wondering about a hamstring injury being aggravated by cycling in a new rider. New people typically don't use hamstrings that much because they push (quad dominant) on the pedals. I agree with your advice to find a good physical therapist.
