Yesterday I felt well-rested and my fitness app said my recovery was good, So I really went for it in my workout, about an hour of upper body work in my home gym then a three hour bike ride. I felt great so threw in some extra hard intervals on the bike.

I was pretty tired later in the day but had a good night’s sleep and feel fine now. The only problem is I aggravated the piriformis injury in my hip and it was stiff and sore this morning. My Doc prescribed me a an anti-inflammatory (meloxicam) for it which I took and that helped. But I don’t want to be popping those routinely. With a few sessions of PT and continuing to do the exercises they taught me, this has been doing a lot better. So I think I’ll rein in my enthusiasm just a bit…
