I'm Melting!

I rode a stationary recumbent bike for 30 minutes today. I also walked a mile around the neighborhood. That's about the extent of my exercise for a while due to my broken back and at this point in the night my legs are killing me like I rode a century(not that I would know what that feels like). I cant wait for my bones to fuse so I can start working out again. The one good thing is that while I'm losing muscle I'm also eating less and losing fat so I will hopefully train myself into a badass easily when I can ride again.

Tour de georgia 2010 here I come!

So I looked at my blog today only to realize I haven't updated in 11 days. The funny thing is there has been more going on in the past 11 days then there has been for a while in my life.

I finally moved out of my perch high above Vail village in the Austria Haus. I will miss the Austria Haus for the youthfully, perky, and cute front desk staff that greeted me every day with a smile. I also miss the ability to walk around the village where there are always people to talk to and no cars to hit you.

My move brought me to Greeley where I was celebrating the wedding of Matt and Trish. As best man I spent most of my time in Greeley within reach of the groom. I worked hard to make sure he was ready to give his life away. The bachelor party was fun, the wedding was beautiful, but the entire time I wanted a drink.

After the wedding I flew to Maryland to spend two weeks recuperating. While in Maryland so far I have been watching the world cup, and...Well that's about it. I cant wait to get back to Colorado and settle in to my new apartment.

By the way I still really want to ride.

That sums up the last few days. Im out till the next exciting thing in my life happens.

I want to RIDE!

I can't tell you why, I don't understand it myself, but after being in a horrific and near fatal bike crash all I can think about is getting back on the bike. I guess its like falling off a horse. I have never fallen off a horse but there is that saying. So I spend my days thinking about cycling, checking up on pro cycling, and dreaming about being able to push myself and ride for hours and hours every day. I just hope when I am capable of riding again: 1, the weather has not turned too bad, 2, I still have the motivation, 3, I can actually ride for more than an hour(bad feeling of lost stamina after 3 months on no exercise). I guess till than I can get my jollies watching the cyclism and surfing the web for cycling news.

Over and out.

Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, this time more wisely.

P.S. I am putting up the quotes of the day as inspirational messages throughout my recovery. Really though I have just lost motivation for extensive posts, and I havent been doing much so this is it for now. Enjoy

Don't ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back.
