I would say this is my third off-day post in a row, but that would be lying. Unfortunately, I had a bit of crash on Thursday the 19th. Happy 25, right? I had a good run the next day, despite being bruised and my upper body being very sore and achy. Saturday, however, seemed like a good day to rest up so that's indeed what happened.
I went to bed Saturday night with the intent of biking and maybe swimming the next day, but my right knee (the one I didn't fall on, curiously enough) was super-sore. It was starting to look bruised. I ran that day too and it wasn't too bad, but I can still really feel it today. I hope it's just a product of it being sore.
Regarding the important stuff, my bike is okay. There is a bit of scuff on the left side of my base bar, but it doesn't look like there was any structural damage. I still rode about 25 miles after the crash that day and rode like I normally do, so I think everything is fine. Other than that, I completely shredded one of the booties I was wearing so they went in the trash.
More than anything, though, I'm mad that the second half of last week completely sucked regarding training. I couldn't really swim because my ribs were pretty sore for two days or so. I tried to do some stretch cords yesterday, but the strap that goes around your hand rests right on the bruises on my knuckles and hurts a lot to pull. So this officially sucks.
So hopefully I'll get a little bit better today. My body definitely feels good enough to swim so I know I'll be doing that tomorrow. I'd like to bike provided that my knee improves. I rode my fixed-gear to my house from Kayla's this morning and it didn't feel too good. I can tell that when I'm actually riding and putting a lot of pressure on the pedals, it's going to hurt almost enough to make me stop. The pain wasn't too bad running on Sunday, so maybe, if I can't bike, I'll go for another run.
I hate being off of my bike and really want to put in some big mileage for a couple of weeks before the season really kicks off. However, it's sort of a good thing because it's getting me to run a lot more, which I have been massively neglecting since the post-marathon lull and winter.
That's about it for me today. No rant, I know.
Thinking about getting a Renn disc. Hmmm.
Bye!
