100 Days

I've been doing most of my rides at home on my trainer. The thing finally made it to me about a month ago after being backordered for about 2 months and then taking the long route here by accidently getting sent to Ohio.

In an effort to get my range back to normal as soon as possible (so I can run!) I have decided to do a little game that I did back in my first year in college. At that time, it was to run at least 1 mile a day for 100 days in a row. I think that I topped out at 114 days. This time it will be to cycle at least 15 minutes a day for the next 100 days. I know 15 minutes doesn't sound like much but on some days I work 12.5 hours so getting on the bike is the last thing I want to do when I get home. I'm sure I'll go much longer on most days. I've decided to count these past two days because I got in a couple good rides in. If I am not running by the time I hit 100, then there seriously must be something wrong.

Despite the fact that the weather has been below freezing here (and my leg has felt like a frozen piece of meat) it is still moving relatively well. There only seems to be a small area of scar tissue towards the back of my knee which is keeping me from being able to actively bend it on my own. I can now grab my own foot, a feat not possible since August. Tomorrow I head back to the surgeon for another follow up visit. Hopefully my knee will be loose enough to try to impress him with this added movement.
