Knee pain:(

Finished two heavy weeks- 415 miles and 370 miles on Sunday 3/22 and was looking for a nice easy week of 100 miles or so. However, I seem to have hit some real arthritic issues with my left knee- the one I had surgery on last October. Funny, the arthritis hit me the week I was "resting" so thats not good to see.
Will attempt to spin tomorrow night and will look to see my orthopedic surgeon ASAP- possibly a cortisone shot or two to get me through RAW?
Stay tuned... looking to do 450 miles this week based on my training plan- but just not sure yet due to the knee pain....argghhhhh...

12 hours........and only 95 days to go

Did a twelve hour indoor spin- about 210 miles - 3 PM Friday afternoon until 3 AM Saturday morning- that was a mental workout more than anything else. Heading to the roads for 2-3 hour ride today- great to get outdoors. 410 mile this week- with 440 planned next week then a light week of 150 or so. Training going well- knee doing OK.... Glad it is springtime and can ride outside... 95 days till RAW

Miles and Miles.......

Taking an easy week after two weeks of 360 miles each- all indoors- capped off by a 10 hour, 185 mile indoor session last Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
Next week- looking to do two 400+ mile weeks as the mileage begins to pile up ahead of Race Across the West in 101 days.............And, hopefully spring is here permanently in Boston so I can begin riding outdoors....
