Yesterday I played guinea pig with my Dr and after giving me something I had to go hit the trails and see how long it took me to kill myself. They call it a 'pain trial'. It took 4.5 hours

Most of that time I felt great and had more fun out there than I have since I got here. Much better than the one last week that only lasted 2 hours. Of course, I also now have an enormous blister on one foot, so I was still pretty worn out, and a tad gimpy.
But, I did an hour on the recumbent bike this morning and it felt pretty good although I wasn't really interested in the third half hour and called it a day after spending a little quality time with the Hydro-massager.
