So, after another almost two weeks of no riding, I got in 10 miles this morning. I felt good, but decided to stop this time while I was still feeling good so as not to set myself back again. However not happy it makes me, I think I'm really going to have to take it much more slowly that I thought at first.
On the good front, I've lost 28 pounds, and set up some computrainer time this week to focus solely on pedal stroke/form. As long as I'm going to be rehabing slowly, I might as well use this time to focus on basics. I'm still doing weight training three days a week so as not to lose muscle. I still need to lose another 15-20, but I'm stopping my rather hardcore "emergency surgery" diet, and am looking more at losing one pound a week moving forward.
