30 minutes on the road bike trainer this a.m. It felt good to get some cardio in and sweat a little. I still can't wait to run some miles outside - it just seems more productive. I prefer to exercise outside most always. I am still patiently letting my body heal. I did my PT exercise today...surprisingly they are less painful as you go.

Keep up the PT it is good for you...you will be outside in no time at all.

Welcome to the blog. Looks like you have great potential. What part of Colorado did you grow up in? I was in the Denver area for most of my childhood, and now live in Logan. When were you at USU?

Hi Jon. I grew up in Grand Junction. I graduated from USU in 1997. I really enjoyed Logan, but it does get cold up that canyon in the early morning.

Welcome to the blog! I'll enjoy following your training. I grew up in Bountiful and now live in Colorado (Denver area) so I guess we swapped places!

WOW, you are one heck of an amazing athlete!!! Take care of yourself and best of luck with recovery from your surgery.
