The physical therapist gave me the green light today! She did caution me to go easy and not push myself too hard. Swimming is not really an option yet (she said maybe breast stroke, definitely not freestyle/front crawl) but I don’t really care. At least I can start doing stuff again! I’m also off the pain-killers and muscle relaxers and doing very well. *happy dance!*So far no “abnormal reaction” (ie MAJOR pain) to today’s bodywork unlike after I visited the chiro/physical therapy over two weeks ago. Hopefully this means I found a good physical therapist. I will also try to be diligent with my homework that was given to me.
Enough of that.
I spent 30 minutes on the trainer dancing between a high Zone 2 and low Zone 3. Today I was feeling a little tired which is most likely from overall bad nutrition over the course of the day (a Snickers bar does not count as lunch!). I’m notorious for not fueling my body well. In fact, it drives one of my cycling friends, I’ll call him Moose, a little crazy. In my defense Moose is a bit intense. Sometimes it is fun get him all riled up even though I know he knows what he is talking about. However… with 150 miles of riding over two days as my goal… nutrition is going to matter. A lot. I could push through the first 75 miles but to recover over night and attempt another 75 miles, for me, means I need to fuel well. I guess I should start paying attention to Moose. 
(I’m kidding, Moose! You know I listen. I just need to stir the pot sometimes to make life interesting.)
132 days until the Tour de Cure!
