We had a nice weekend. We saw our mothers to wish them Happy Mother’s Day and that was nice. On Sunday we decided to go for a bike ride.
I’m not going to lie. I was nervous about getting back on my bike. It’s not that I’m afraid of riding...or even wrecking again!!! I am afraid of actually falling on my ribs!!! The pain if I fell would do me in I fear!
But we had a good ride. No accidents ! I did take some Advil as a preemptive strike against any pain before we went out. I won’t lie and say it felt great. But it didn’t feel too bad.
We rode for about 3 hours. We covered about 23 leisurely miles. We enjoyed our trip. While it wasn’t exactly comfortable, it was fun!
Even better, my legs felt fine! Yay!!! Now last night I wasn’t hurting any, but this morning I am in misery with pain...not legs...my ribs!! I don’t know if it’s a side affect of the ride or if I slept wrong. But eii yiii yii! (I naturally tend to sleep on my side and my back is where it doesn’t hurt...but I keep waking up laying on my side...and in pain!)
I am happy with my efforts to stay active though! I want to keep my riding legs so that I can rip down the mountain bike trails when I am feeling better!!!! And meanwhile, it’s time to get this excess weight off!!! It’s time!!!
