Recovery & a Bike Ride

by Bill Wallace on March 17, 2010

Back to the Physio on Monday and things seem to be looking up.

The FBH and I went for a ride to the Mother-in-Law’s on Sunday which was a round trip of about 38kms. Pretty flat so that wasn’t too hard but we decided to do it on footpaths and not the road. That makes it a pretty bumpy ride.

Anyway, we made it there and back and it was good to get the legs going even if it wasn’t running.

The good thing about exercise is how good you feel after you’ve done it. :)

Monday was physio day as she worked the achilles again and this time there was no grimacing or real pain so things are looking up. The plan was to go to the pool to do some walking on it but work was really late Monday night.

Last night the FBH and I walked to our local for a bite. Just a steady 4km walk, no real effort. However I can feel the achilles this morning. Not painful but just conscious of it. Maybe that’s a little psychosomatic.

I will rest it again tonight or go to the pool and see how it pulls up.

Next Physio appointment is Friday and she’ll be telling me whether I can run this weekend or not. Hopefully I can.

This Sunday is the local HBF Freeway Bike Hike.

This is a 60, 30 or 10km ride along Perth’s freeway for asthma. Our company, VDM Group, is getting a group going to had off for the 30km ride. Hopefully we’ll get a good turn out and it’ll be a great way to start the day.

Later that same day I have been invited to a Polo Match. Never been to a polo game so that is going to be very interesting.

Do you yell? Cheer? Hurl abuse at the opposition?

Or is it all very sedate and courteous? A bit like tennis?

Heh…some of those tennis watchers can get rather vociferous.

True, between points they get very vocal. I guess I’ll take my lead for the other patrons. :)
