Ride with Stephania on Puslinch trails. We were supposed to ride on Friday evening but she got stuck in traffic and didn't want to by the time she arrived. I conceded, but only if we could ride this morning instead. Beautiful time of day to be out there, although it was much darker at 6:00 than I realized it would be!

After reaching an impasse with my Achilles, I decided to shell out the bucks for ESWT (shockwave) this morning. At the moment, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about this. On the plus side, there is good research on the efficacy of this for making breakthroughs with achilles and the clinic where I go had found it very successful. On the down side, there is also some research that says it doesn't work and it means back to no running again, for at least a couple of weeks. That said, I wouldn't say my runs lately have been particularly successful and I was at my wit's end doing god damn eccentric exercises, so we'll see if this helps.

If anyone else has had success (or not) with ESWT, I'd love to hear about it!

Pre-class cycling

Had some time to kill after work so gave a CX class another shot. Better than the first ones I tried when they first came out as there was less convoluted stretchy band combo exercises. Will definitely be feeling this tomorrow!

Short class following CX or whatever it is called!
