No pain No Gain myth.

Had an afternoon nap after fetching the boys from berries. They knocked out in the car and made me want to do the same. So a nap i did take... then called gin and vic to see if they were keen on a ride in the night.

Elgin is getting stronger and thats great... will make a strong rider if he keeps going the way of the jedi - force is getting stronger.

the ride was super short and as much as i'd like to think its the bike, i remember that its really not about the bike... ok training is in order. lol. As soon as my popliteus tendon heals, it'll be build up time.

Every slope seemed longer then usual... nose was leaking, not sure if it were the cold, stomach was pretty full from the late dinner just before the ride... ok ok bad combination before the ride... well tell that to enthusiasm.

Learned something from physio this week... pain is very often an indication of the load we ought not to bear... sometimes we might over train and instead of getting stronger injure ourselves... so find out first. So much for all in the mind huh? Well perhaps not all the time... u need to know your body so that we ultimately don't kill ourselves whilst trying to have fun.
