February 14, 2010 - Training

Happy Birthday to me. Started Sunday morning off with kidney stone surgery at 6 am. Had one 5 millimeter stone that would not budge. A half hour out-patient surgery turned into 2 hours and an overnight stay. Was released on Monday. Tough training week, had 269 miles; including a 6 hour indoor spin Saturday the 13th. 5 inches of snow this week, and lows in the 20's. Both knees are sore, still have a problem with the quad-tendon injury. Kidney stones, cold snowy weather, bad knees, it's all discouraging. I signed up for the cross-country ride based upon my summer conditioning. Should of thought what the winter months would be like.
