I Am Back

The Doctor gave me the go-ahead to ride again today, though I have to wear the split when riding. I rode for about an hour out in Wilowdale. I have to go pretty slow, due to the split, but mostly due to the loss of strength (or confidence?) in my left hand. I also felt pretty rusty as far as general bike handling goes. That said, it was great to be riding again on such a perfect day.

For the next month I’m planing on doing a mix of trail running, trail and road riding. I think the running has been good, and I need to keep my cardio-vascular fitness up since going slow on the MTB isn’t nearly as solid a work-out.

Back from Vacation

We’re back from our trip to NH. I’ve got a few photos to work through – here’s one I liked from the latest import off of the Cannon D300. Those prior ones are cell phone pictures.

What a Wonderful World

I’ve had a rough week or so. This captures it really well.

There’s always a Bigger Snake

Matti and Sam were chasing a 3′ garter snake around the edge of a swap over at Bradley palmer. The lost track of it, then they noticed this 6′ long black racer. The cell phone picture doesn’t do it justice – it’s girth looked to be around 4″ – they didn’t try and catch this one.

Running Again

I ran 4.1 mi in 1:01 – all Willowdale single track trails. My goal was to run as slow as possible for an hour, so I’m pretty happy with that. I’m hoping I can do this 3 times a week or so, and do something easier on the off-days.

Here’s the track on Garmin Connect – pretty nice, Check it out on their site via “View Details”, with heart rate and everything.
