The Show Will Go On

So it has been a week and a half since the big bike accident. The first few days I was sore all over and could barely move without pain. Aside from the cuts, scrapes, and bruises I mentioned earlier, it also turns out that I pulled my groin pretty badly. Last week I really did not even try to run given the pain, but did ride the exercise bike a couple of times and used an ellipitical machine once. Yesterday after a half an hour on the elliptical machine I ran a mile on the treadmill pain-free, which was a great feeling! For a couple of days there I thought I was going to have to bag on Sunday's race, which was not exactly a good feeling. Now it looks like the show will go on! Oh, one other thing -- it turns out that I spoke prematurely when I said my wheels could be repaired -- the bike store called back and informed me they are beyond repair. Super. It is not a problem this week since I have my race wheels, but eventually I will have to suck it up and buy a new pair...
