LOL! Loves me some Whovian humor, LOL!

You all are so amazing and I really appreciate your responses. I've been in LOOOOONG classes lately prepping for my board exams and sitting for nearly 8 hours. Azdak I did those sitting stretches you posted and it DID help. I wasn't getting so stiff sitting. I just have to keep that up. Papaya I was thinking the same about…

You guys are great! Thanks so much for you quick responses. You are confirming some things I already suspected, like the trochanteric bursitis and leg length discrepancy brought on by a misaligned pelvis. I do have a foam roller but like I said the benefits are never more than an hour or so and then the pain returns. Over…

There's a 'Sweat Gutter'. I think it's like a headband and it has a channel to run the sweat away from your face.

Good information here. I am a cyclist, I do run for cross training. Currently I'm down and out with IT band issues. I'm in the middle of getting the inflammation down and then next step is strengthening hips abductors. I'm pretty sure having a loose bolt on my cycling shoe is what got my IT band started being inflammed. I…

OK please explain these APPS you are all mentioning? Are they supposed to help us concentrate?

230/450 - Hmmmmm.... this isn't looking good. Stupid school.

OMG it is really awesome to see this thread! I am even more shocked that a couple of you have ADD with Dyslexia like myself. I have a formal diagnosis and currently take medication. However, I am finding that caffeine and exercise can provide just as good of results. I hope to go off my meds when I finish school in a year…

Yep I certainly can relate to this post. I am a coffee drinker so for the next few weeks I am planning on every other cup of coffee having sugar and cream. For me I need a balance of carbs and protein but I do eat a lot more protein right now to stave off cravings. I try to ride my bike to class to get in some kind of…

134/450 - slowly getting there :-)

Another 12 miles... seriously this should count double. I had wicked wind and my trolley was full of groceries on the way back which is also uphill. Yes I want cheese with that whine. 125/450

ROFL! WOW that was a wicked wind! 12-13 MPH going out and 18-19 MPH on the way back, nice :-)

48 more today (3400 ft of climbing along with it) 113 of 450 so far

4/1 - 40 4/4 - 25 65 down out of 450

I am lifting now, I've been lifting heavier on my left than the right to see if that would help. It's a measurable difference. It's extremely difficult to measure your own bicep but I can also tell my hand will go further around my left than vice versa. My training plan has been to do more strength training and less…

I'm curious about this too. I hear Ti is supposed to be very supple which seems to me would make a great touring or commuting bike. I love my road disk brakes BTW :-)

4/1 = 40 miles (windy WinDy WINDY!)

Personally I would get a steel Bianchi. I had an Emola for a while and I LOVED it but it was a smidge too small. It was a nice bike with 105 components and it was a fast feeling bike. I have had aluminum but don't like the stiff ride. My commuter is steel and my roadie is carbon. I fully intend to buy another steel roadie…

I'm in again. I'm setting my goal for 450 this time. 'Theoretically' the weather should be getting better soon so I hope to be able to get more miles :-)

Snowbike that is STILL awesome! I'm came up a bit short too. Ironically it is absolutely gorgeous outside today, LOL. Oh well, lets get going on April :-)

I just put on the black Kool Stops. Now if it decides to stop raining I will try them out tomorrow (maybe I should have got salmon for rain :ohwell: ) The old pads were grooved, glazed had shards of metal and that's after I sanded them down a bit. They were indeed Dura Ace but honestly they really sucked. I won't be buying…

Try taking "Slow Fe Iron" the week before and into the week you have it. Iron deficiency really wreaks havoc on the inner junk food addict (for me anyways). Lots and LOTs and LOTS of water helps too.

Did another 25 today, 59 more to go and 1 day to do it. Unfortunately my neck and shoulder are NOT cooperating with this goal of mine. We will see how it goes I guess :ohwell:

60 more today, 84 more to go :-) Can it be done? We will see.... LOL.
