41 miles at 41 years old. I'm Baaaackkk!
To disable ads, please log-in.
After lots of months off a bike and lots of rehab, pills, and healing, I am back on the bike, well, trike, technically
. I am slowly getting going again, usually a couple miles a day, but have finally hit the 41 mile mark. It is weird, but the only time I am not aware of pain is when I am on the recumbent catrike with the wind in my face and cars whizzing by (sometimes a little close considering the last year and my evil car encounters).
It is like breathing again after holding my breath for a really long time. I wear my bike necklace from Silver everyday and have since the day it arrived as a reminder of all of you that encouraged me to take care of myself and to never quit. Thank goodness the last 12 months are over. Life is getting good again. I am more thankful for you team estrogen members for all of your support, cards, and gifts than you will ever know.
