Back on Track

Almost back on track. Getting back on track, anyways.  By Monday, my exploded leg muscle had stitched itself together enough for me to ride to work, and limp around the office (interesting that riding is easier on it than walking, but I'm not complaining). Tuesday I was walking pretty much normally, and by Wednesday it felt great, so long as I didn't push on where the impact was.  So off to the track we went:

I apologize for the crappy pictures. It was pouring rain, and I took them with my phone. 

Disappointingly, my IT band kicked up at about 3km into the workout.  This is extremely frustrating, since the injury has been on and off since February of 2010. We are getting close to the 2 year mark, and while there seems to be progress, it is still way more of an issue than acceptable.

Anyways.  Hopefully some rest this weekend and being able to really finish healing from my "dismount" will fix the problem by next week.  

We didn't put up any of our totals while we were in Moab. So, for consistencies sake, below are the totals for the last few weeks.  It seems that while we were away, we went from having over a year to prepare, to suddenly being in Week -49. Scary. Very Scary. Scary enough that we had a talk last night about switching up our strategy to get more, better, workouts in every week. It just always seems like you could be doing more at the end of the week, but during the week you feel like you're uncomfortably stretched.
