Misery seems to love company
Trying to get into shape is really challenging right now.
Take yesterday for instance. I took my bicycle over to High Plains Community Center where there is a large area that is paved. I need to feel comfortable on the bicycle before venturing into traffic.
As I was attempting to ride and shift gears the bicycle kind of stopped and I fell off of it onto my shoulder.
The same shoulder my doctor told me on Friday that most likely has a rotator cuff tear.
When I fell numerous people came over and asked if I was alright. My pride was so hurt that I told them I was fine and that I was learning how to fall. Yep, I told them it was a planned fall.
I got back on the bike and rode around for a while longer until I couldn't stand the discomfort in my shoulder.
On a positive note my gym time is still consistent. I am still struggling with the stairmaster.

It took me a while to get the hang of a bicycle again once I started riding - it had been a really long time. I wanted to ride to work, but I definitely had to work up to it - I got a folding bike, and at first, I drove almost all the way to work and rode only the last mile. Now, I still drive partway (to the start of the bike path) and I can ride that almost all the way to the office - I have maybe 1/4 mile in traffic. It is, surprisingly (or perhaps not?) faster than driving to work.
