that was lame

i was going to post saturday afternoon about how awesome i was for starting off the new year very athletically, but instead i'll post about how dumb i am.

here's the setup: i have a century to ride next month. i haven't biked more than 40 miles at a time in a year, maybe a year and a half. i hadn't biked at all since mid december. so naturally i went for 50 miles yesterday, including a couple of hills that i don't really like.

and today, my knee ligament -- the very one that tells me i've ridden too hard too soon -- is hurting. it will go away, like it always does, i'm sure. but like any good injury it's now set back my training. so nice job, me. way to use the brain.

anyhow, even though that's a bummer, it seems to be healing pretty quickly. i'm going to blast it with some anti-inflammatories this evening. and since i've started playing dark souls just this morning, i'll have plenty of motivation to rest.

but now i get to worry about finishing the century. not because i will still be injured then, but because i'm so terribly undertrained for it.

meh, i'll get by. sigh.
