COMMUTE 9.2 miles
Chronological order this time.
LA wanted sushi last night, so I went. :) There was some left over, so today's ride was sushi powered.

After I got home, the MRI result was posted:
--Right pubic bone/parasymphyseal stress reaction/fracture
--Minimal partial-thickness chondrosis of the posterior right acetabulum and femoral head
--Mild insertional tendinopathy of the right gluteus minimus muscle.
Labrum appears normal. I think that's the best news
The Dr's accompanying note only states to "rest from running for now...okay to cycle or swim". And "if persistent pain with walking crutches may be useful".
UGH! That is WAY TOO VAGUE for me. Can I cycle more, like century rides? Define pain? Crutches may be useful, for just pain or for expedient healing? Can I go down stairs? Should I dial back walking? UGH.
Well the good news is I shouldn't need surgery! Bad news is no running for 6-10 weeks. Good news is the Ride The Rivers Century is coming up.

Great ride this morning,
#1 16:25 ooh faster than expected, ave HR 139
#2 16:03 holy cool shit, ave HR 151
#3 15:26 FUCKING A!, ave HR 162
I was on a tear, having the MRI result in my head and knowing I was going to be limited the next weeks. I was not quite angry, but for sure on the push. Lookit them heart rates! But better yet, lookit them times -- that 15:26 is only 12 seconds off the PR BE and I set a few weeks ago.
I got done and was wiped out, great energy drain. I like to think I'm faster than this but I was going just about all out. I ended with a headache and "chest pain" that is most likely just my chest muscles being so unused. I wondered, what would I say to the doctors if I came in today (of all days) with another heart attack. I'd say, I went fast because I wanted to see what would happen! Ha!

Last night I had three chyrsalis monarchs, 9 cats, and 6 eggs. This morning two of the J cats were dead or dying!, another 1 or 2 cats didn't look to good, but 2 of my eggs hatched. The J cats died during chrysalization, if that's a word. Sad! But that's life.

And speaking of life, I've survived the year. Go Bee!
