im breaking

So let me give some background. I have been training my ass off for five months. Running, going to the gym, commuting and climbing every big hill we could find. But about three weeks ago I pulled a calf muscle. It was bad and kept me off of my feet for a week. But it started to feel better so I obviously started to ride again. Not smart as I reinjured it. Shortly after that, I came down with the cousin of the swine flu. That kept me on the couch for four days and I've been eating antihistamines like tic tacs. So, we get to riding today and my knee decides to boycot the trip and hurt like my first break up. What the hell? When we started training for this we looked for sponsors. Hindsite and all that I wish we would have approached advil as that is going to be my new friend. If your reading this please call your doctor friends in oregon and get me some cortizone shots lined up.
