Ouch

Activity: 16 miles on Bob, ice and snow
Weather: -12C, sunny (again)
Tune for today: Ow that hurts, The Hamstring

Just easy mileage today, well mileage anyway. Put a foot down as the
back wheel slid out of a sodding rut, foot slipped out from underneath
and I felt something go in the back of my thigh. Went very slowly for
the remaining 6 miles home. RICE'ing tonight and didn't run as
planned. If it is hamstring injury then it's only a minor one as no
bruising or real swelling and can walk ok, if a little gingerly. Will
give it a few days of stretching and light exercise and see. I did my
hamstring in a few years back and was out for 6 weeks but this doesn't
feel anywhere near as bad.

Meanwhile am crashed on couch with American Pie 2 trying to decide
between touring bikes. I'm selling my beloved landrover to fund this
next purchase so don't want to rush and have any regrets. I had
settled on one but my attention was drawn to another one this
afternoon at the bike shop. Arghhhhhh.....basically it's come down to
disc brakes or not... I know, I know....are they that important? Disc
brakes I mean, not brakes in general as aware stopping might be a bit
hard without them....Both get fantastic reviews online from testers
and owners so it's not easy.

Reet, bedtime....
