Motivation, Support and Accountability Thread - Aug. 3 to 9
Normally this thread is focused on what your goals are for accountability. So post a short list of the goals you are going to focus on this week (can be a part of a larger goal, or just an area you want to focus on a bit more). I'm going to get back to my run/walk sessions. I'm going to schedule my annual physical. I'm…

Feet Tingling While Riding
While riding today, my feet started to tingle (like they were asleep). I've had this happen in the past occasionally, and never come up with a good solution.

I suspect it's just bruising on my ischial tuberosities (aka sit bones), and that my seat isn't prepared for placing ~345lbs on 9 square…
