Back in the Saddle
22 days after my accident, I'm training again.
I didn't get training again quite as soon as I would have liked, most of which can be blamed on piss poor service from this shower of sh*t. I ordered a decent turbo trainer on the 4th and (after being continually lied to) it finally appeared yesterday and it wasn't even the model I originally ordered. Very poor. I don't care how cheap they are, I'm not using them again - there are plenty of other outfits who'll take my money (and deliver within a day or two).
Anyway, that's neither here nor there at this point. I did half an hour in the garage on the new trainer and I'm really happy to be exercising again, I have quite a bit of fitness to make up. My collar bone came through it ok - sitting in the saddle and putting weight on the handlebars doesn't seem to put any pressure on the bone, so that's hopeful. Mind, I should read the instructions properly so that my bike doesn't come out of the trainer halfway through! Idiot.
I can still feel that the bone/ligaments/muscle is damaged but I've got most of my range of motion back. I can't put a great deal of weight through it yet but that isn't far away. I'm going to go running on Saturday, all being well.
We move to Cardrona a week tomorrow, so I'll have plenty of opportunity to get out into the country and train. I can't wait.
