Push Ups and Road Ride

28 Jan 2009 - Eugene Today had a few things going on. First I restarted 100 Push Ups week 2. I wasn't happy with my week 2 last week. I barely was making each day, so I'm redoing it. So far so good, did a few more than the required max at the end. Next up was visit number 2 to the chiropractor. My right leg was a bit shorter again, but only by about 1/4 inch, instead of a full inch, and I no longer failed the strength tests, so that was awesome. He's having me do some daily balance exercises as well. He'd like to see my leg length situation stabilize before I start running again. So... I headed out for a road ride this afternoon. Was an absolutely gorgeous day. 50-54 degrees during the ride, and I actually wore shorts (with knee warmers :) and loved it. Did my short loop up McBeth plus a little further. While stopped up at the top eating, a guy came by on a classic old bike, also wearing the clothes to match, but no helmet. Idiot. Idiot. I wound up catching him on the mini-climb on Chambers on the way home, and had been planning to dis him for not wearing a helmet, but wound up just riding past him with a quick hi, and continuing on leaving him in the dust. Good enough I guess.
