How time flies. Since I last wrote to you I have made more progress along the road to wellville. Been cycling, yes, I'm back on two wheels. An easy 46km-er, metric isn't as easy to say as imperial, a twenty seven miler. Flat with four other members of the club. No Problermo. I felt fine physically, a little tired but otherwise OK. Pleased with myself that I felt comfortable and confident once again. Since then two more rides to test myself on hills, still no pain but obviously acute lack of fitness, it's going to be hard work over the next few months.
My walking is improving, I can nearly walk properly, I still feel an ache in my foot and also now in my hip, it's quite deep and a new sensation. Not too much to make me wince though. A casual observer probably would be able to tell I have a limp at the moment. I am pleased, I think things will continue to get better. The cycling leaves me feeling good, it makes the aches in my foot and hip temporarily disappear. Still doing the gym work too though once I start cycling to work I'll change that routine and do less cardio and more strength/stability exercises.
