how slow am I?

Sarah, does this mean you're feeling better? I mean, it has the word "running" in it. Does this mean you're up and around?

Thanks, Amy. I guess my clots are better, but I am actually having more pain, which stinks. I bought the shoes in anticipation of being able to run (or, actually hike quickly!) soon. Like maybe end of next week. For now, I am taking it pretty easy, though I did go intot he office today and I am going up to the Sierras this weekend to cheer on DH at the Death Ride.

MP, is it a _little_ bit of a relief not to be riding something called the Death Ride??

PS, you could train for Wickham park now!!

This is a total (probably welcome) hijack.

You know, given how crummy my last rides were (due to the stupid clots) it is a relief. I am in pretty decent shape, but boy did I struggle on my training rides. Clot-less, I think I would have been more psyched up for it.

In spite of the name, the Death Ride is a stunningly beautiful ride. The mountains are gorgeous and it is almost spiritually peaceful out there.

Wickham Park sounds crazy fun, but like something beyond my running abilities - crazy! I have done 3 marathons. The first was great. The rest were just long. And painful!

Well, do take it easy Sarah. I was just floored by your story. Hopefully, in no time at all it will be a distant memory. Being patient sux sometimes.
