The weather has finally turned in the last couple of weeks and I have not had the ability to get out anywhere near as much as I want to. Sadly, I've had a flare up of my RA and my right leg just does not want to bend to go round and round. Sad face over here. I do have stats from March and April and will post them later, but for now suffice to say my mileage is pitiful but the desire is very strong. It's sad to want to go and have the longing coupled with perfect riding weather and have to sit on the sidelines. Sigh.
With virtually no winter season to speak of I was able to get outdoor riding in during all the months of last year and the early months of this year, even if mid winter it was only one or two outdoor rides. I kept it up with the indoor trainer and was very excited about the 2012 season getting off to a good start and raring to go. Sometimes we just have to go with the flow and not fight the things we can do nothing about.
Right now I'm focusing on getting extra medical attention and remedies, good nutrition and getting enough sleep and rest. Combined, those factors will have me on the mend, sooner rather than later or so I hope.
For now, I'll take what little rides I can get in. There's always shopping!
Poor you, Deb! I don't doubt that you'll be wanting to do more despite your injury, but I'm sure that if you rest up a little that leg will pay you back later in the season with some cracking rides. In the meantime I'll put a few miles in for you, ok? :)
