"Patience Now!"

Things continue to improve every day. I went to pyhsio and also had a massage and along with my continued stretching it seems to be mending. I just need to be patient now and make sure I don't rush back too quickly. I rode for about one hour, twenty minutes with practically no discomfort. Tomorrow I will run again, and if it goes well I am going to officially declare myself off the shelf. Strange as it may seem I consider it a positive indicator that my legs are sore everywhere....a good kind of sore...

One place I do have lots of patience is in the pool. I used to really enjoy swimming but it always seems a chore now. I have to force myself to get in there and do something. I splashed around for a 1/2 hour today but achieved nothing of significance other than managing to get wet. I think that in the next few days I will have to get back in there with my wetsuit just to get my motivation back up.

I wish to dedicate day 103 to my friend Curlena....massage therapist and person extraordinaire!

patience has NEVER been my strong suit, but one expression I like is..."Have patience with all things, but most of all with yourself"
