January 4, 2010 - Training

I worked out on my weight machine this morning.  Did some situps too.  Watching my diet, started January 1 at 182 pounds.  Hoping to get down below 170 by the time the ride starts.  Still resting my quad-tendon knee injury until January 10.  I'm giving that injury 28 days to resolve itself before beginning to cycle again.  An odd way to begin my training.  I'm still having a great deal of pain, almost daily, in my left side due to a large 16 millimeter kidney stone.  It's cold outside, went down to 17 degrees last night.
