Day 502 – I’m Still Here

I can’t believe it’s been since August that I posted an update.  Since it’s been so long, I should probably recap the last few months…
I’ve stopped running due to foot pain.  I may pick it up again later, but I’m not going to attempt getting back into it until I have someone check out my [...]

Day 340: Three In A Row

I went out to Buck Creek for the third day in a row.  My tail was a little sore, but I managed to stay off of the seat as much as I could.  I ended up covering the entire trail except for the Technical Loop in about 1:20 and burned about 1300 calories.
I forgot to [...]

Day 339: Quick Ride

I went out to Buck Creek this afternoon with Kevin — it was his first time on the trail.  I was a little envious of his Trek 4300, but I tried not to let it get to me.  We ended up going for about an hour, and I logged about 850 calories.

Day 338: I’m Hooked

Hi.  My name is Cameron, and I’m a Mountain-bike-aholic.  I went out again today for over 1:30 and burned about 1600 calories.
I decided to take the shortcut to Dave’s Loop today to cut out the first 2.5 miles of the trail because I wanted to hit some sections I had skipped before.  I took the [...]

Day 333: Back To Buck Creek

I returned to the Buck Creek Trail ahead of schedule today.  I was planning on waiting a few more days for my previous injury to heal, but I was pressured into it by a friend.  It didn’t take much pressure, mind you; it’s just that I didn’t think about riding until he texted me about [...]

Day 319: The Gully Got Me

First off, my foot is feeling pretty much “healed.”  After a couple days, I remembered that my previous “tendon pain” from running was happening on the inside edge of my foot and not the outside edge where the pain from bicycling was happening.  After talking to our trainer again and letting him know that it [...]

Day 312: Cross-Training

A friend of mine bought a new road bike and wanted to go ride with someone, so I volunteered.  I rode his 15+ year old Cannondale using his old clip-in shoes.  We ending up going about 30.2 miles in 2.5 hours, and it was a lot of fun.  We left out at 1:45 in the [...]
