Today was an excellent day, especially after yesterdays spill on the trail. I have a decent size bruise over my knee cap but its not keeping me from riding. I tried to run on it yesterday but it was kind of sore. After some icing and Motrin I was good to go. The pain is still present but I felt why not try and heal it up with some blood flow. I hit the dirt roads up by my house today and had some pretty good results. I am not far from where I was last season, but it was a little harder to sustain my lactate threshold. My HR was anywhere from 145-168 throughout the entire ride. Here is my Garmin report for today...another 20 miles down this week. I am going to run later today depending on the knee.
