...to post that I had an 18 mile bike ride on Friday. I just did it at the downtown airport since it's flat out there, so less pressure on the stress-fractured leg that I'm not supposed to be doing anything on... :\ It was beautiful out and a pretty pleasant ride, other than the strain on my neck/shoulder that always bothers me from the 2 herniated discs in my neck. The ride took about an hour and 15 min. Average speed = 14.7 mph

About Me

- I'm just a girl....and no, I haven't had it up to here. But I am just girl, livin life and lovin every minute of it. If it's not fun or funny, I'm pretty much not interested. I have two beautiful girls and I cherish every minute of my time with them. I turn 30 this year and in the midst of all the craziness, I thought - hey, why not do a triathlon this year? So aside from being a wife, a mother, a quality assurance customer experience specialist, and LOL around GOOF, I'm also training to be a triathlete. I prefer to go through life with a smile on my face at all times - either cuz I'm cracking up, I'm having the time of my life, or I'm just up to no good at all! And THAT, my friends, is me in a nutshell.

"the leg you're not supposed to do anything on" - ha! You sound exactly like some other people I know, hmm...who could those people be? Well, I'm glad you got a long run in before the surgery, that has to make you feel better!
well done on the ride, glad it felt good .... i know how you feel about just wanting to do something :) Good luck friday if i don't say it again before then!
hush it izzy-smartypant-bubbles... we are clearly all women who refuse to give up ;) and nice ride ashley. maybe i'll join you on BAK when you do it, again, i'm not one to EVER be outdone by my spouse, not that we are competitive or anything... nor am i EVER dramatic.... chrip..... chrip...
The key to keeping the strain on the back and neck at bay is to remind yourself to keep your shoulders down and back. Imagine that you are trying to pinch your shoulder blades together! Nice ride, however!
