    Dear Self,

    Take a chill pill and relax. Yes, last week was hard and you've been more than whiny but this week relax and enjoy. So far so good.

    Dear Mukluk,

    Dang. I had no idea what a workout you'd give me. It's not surprising, just more work than I thought. However; it's been great riding on gravel.


    Dear Fargo,

    What's up with your cassette? It's always the same two cogs that the chain keeps trying to get up/down on. You've had 3 shops look at it and they can't find anything wrong but you always do this out on the roads.

    Dear Foot,

    It's been almost 4 months since surgery!! 4 months! That seems like a LONG time. My broken pelvis healed and felt better in less time.......... so why do you still ache and swell up when I try and do a little 5K run??? Grr! So frustrating. I guess I'll back off again, and go back to run-walk-run-walk.... so not fun. :-(

    At least I can ride pain-free - Yay! That makes it bearable.

    ((SallyRides)) Remember, you're putting a lot of force through your foot when you run. And there are loads of tendons and ligaments that are finicky. Not just bone. Don't rush it. I know it's frustrating, but hang in there. Hey, at least you can ride.

    Dear Adobe Reader:
    WHY did you decide to update in the middle of my working on my presentation, and require a system restart to be able to continue? I was perfectly happy with the non-updated version, thank you. I suppose I shall have to get up early and finish it after all. Jerkface.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Congratulations on the improvement! I've had foot surgery...it does take much longer to fully recover than we think it will - at least that was my experience. It WILL improve though - I feel your frustration. Our poor feet do take a lot of stress...
