Tuesday & Wednesday

Since I missed quite a few days, I took the loaner out Tuesday and did 20 miles.  All seemed fine and good on Tuesday.  Kept of a fast pace (cadence wise, which does translate into speed, but wasn't important).  I took the last 3.5 miles at a much harder pace than normal.  I'd wanted to go for more distance instead, but I had to do laundry afterwards, and thus had to get to the laundrymat in time to finish before they closed, so I chose to push a bit harder since I couldn't go farther.  Didn't think much of it at the time, finished, stretched a bit, then went and did laundry.  I had trouble sleeping though, even though I was tired.  I blamed it on the clean sheets :).  But when I got up, my left thigh was hurting in the meaty part above the knee.  Nothing after the ride but normal soreness, but when I got up, this mild twinging pain.

Still determined to try to get at least three rides a week in, I went out Wednesday as well.  I'd hoped during the workday that the nagging pain would go away (it didn't really hurt, it was just annoying) but it didn't.  As I started to ride, it didn't really hurt much either, just that nagging twinge.  But by about 8 miles, is started to throb.  So I headed back early.  It was about 4 miles back at that point, and I took it fairly easy.  Now, it is back to just twinging again.  No riding tomorrow, and only a short ride to the Lion planned for Friday.  I have no idea what I've done, but I hope it goes away soon.
