Note
Finally got back to bicycling. It had been about 3 weeks since my last bicycle ride. I took the break because my left hip was sore and bruised after I slipped and fell and landed hard on some ice about a month ago, while walking back from lunch. At first I just shrugged off the pain but when it got worse I decided it was time to take a break.
The bicycle ride this morning felt good. I took it easy. I don't feel confident about going back to my regular bicycling schedule immediately. I don't want to relapse. I want to participate in most of the QOC events over the next few months.
I'm also planning to take part in a couple trail races this Spring and wouldn't want to have to cancel either of those trips due to avoidable injuries.

If I've learned anything about myself it's that if I'm not careful I have a tendency to push myself to the point of injury. I've learned the hard way to take it easy but sometimes I forget. Here's hoping that having scheduled events will keep me focused on staying healthy and in shape.
