Just as I started feeling good about riding, an old friend had to go and ruin it. Who is that friend? Why, it's my spine.

I felt really exhausted all day and I couldn't figure out why. No matter how I sat in the chair at the office, I couldn't get comfortable.

I got home and ordered a pizza and sat down to watch a movie. About half way through the movie and 3 pizza slices later, I was off to the bathroom, where I've been since. Yes, gross and creepy as it may sound, this is the first blog entry I've authored from the porcelain throne.

Due to that good ol' place where my vertabrae got smashed together, the nerves headed to my lower digestive tract have said "bombs away!" I'm exhausted more so than I was earlier today, and I'm running a relatively high fever, which is "normal".

At any rate, I guess I'm going to have to hold off riding for a few days while I wait for this to sort itself out, and even then I will have to limit myself.

As you may have noticed, my passion for cycling has been rekindled for some odd reason. The result: I'm feeling healthier, more energetic, sleeping better, and this site has been getting daily updates.

I've created the image you'll see below to kinda keep everyone abreast of my stats. Eventually, it will link to a site where I will log all my rides, and schedule additional rides. For now though, that's what you get. ;)

If anyone is in the Lafayette, Indiana area and wants to ride, let me know. There's been 3 of us riding pretty much regularly for the last week, but we're trying to rally more... Especially since we're down one for a while (Get better, Ben!). The bar below should give you an indication of what to expect, so if you can't handle these rides then you may not be the candidate. Sorry. :/

At any rate, I'm going to pass out now. Today's ride was a little intense for me.
