Day 112 - It Keeps Me On My Toes

My hip was a little sore from all the riding I had done over the Labor Day weekend. I rode 10 miles on the trails on Friday, 15 miles on the road on Sunday, and 15 miles on the trails/road on Monday. As a result I have been limping a little for the past two days. It's taken longer than I thought to get rid of my limp. I stopped needing to use my cane about three weeks ago. I also stopped doing my rehab exercises a month ago so I could concentrate on walking and cycling. I am doing some stretching of the leg and hip every few days. I really should resume my leg exercises. But somedays after a long day at work, it is hard to get motivated to do them. I don't like doing weight training. It's too repetitive. One of the reasons I love mountain biking is the mixture of speed, balance, and control that it requires and the concentration it demands to react to changes in terrain and obstacles. I'd much rather be outdoors riding my mountain bike. It keeps me on my toes.
