		<description><![CDATA[I started getting nervous about racing around 4:30pm, even though I knew that I would not be able to give my best effort. I would probably be nervous going over anything vaguely technical, I am out of racing shape and it would be my first short track as a cat 1. I figured there was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I rode Larch, and then went to Sandy on Sunday, and overall I&#8217;d say my back is doing pretty darn well on the bike, considering.
However, cooking/dish-washing and sleeping are still extremely painful. I wake up every morning after about 5 or 6 hours of sleep in pain, and I spend the rest of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While not totally back to normal, I actually did quite a lot of workouts this week; did a hard ride on Wednesday, did my own version of Tedder&#8217;s strength class Tuesday/Thursday, and then today. Oh today. I haven&#8217;t been so completely wiped out from a ride since I started riding bikes way back in 2007.

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I started riding my road bike on my trainer, which was interesting; my back felt OK, but my heart rate was just off the charts, and I was barely pedaling. I was doing 10 minute intervals (10 &#8220;on&#8221;, 5 &#8220;off, although my heart rate was generally super high all the time [...]]]></description>

I have learned some interesting things over the last 3 weeks, that I must admit have been pretty [...]]]></description>

Granted, most of the time I could not keep going to the therapist for monetary reasons, so I would get my sheet [...]]]></description>

I plan on trying out the road bike come July 1st-sh, and the mountain bike sometime a few weeks later, depending on how I&#8217;m feeling. My [...]]]></description>

Saturday I managed to walk to Mount Tabor, although I had to sit on a bench for a while when I got there, and walk back. Yesterday I walked to the Academy Theater, watched a movie, and walked back, about 1.2 miles each way. The [...]]]></description>
