Figured this is a good spot to share a little about my journey back to riding. Goal is to be on a bike in 4 months and be fully back to uninjured old man status in a year.

Just left Stanford

Arrived at the Vi
The transport dudes said this is the place Hollywood types send their parents and it used to be a Hilton. Old school Fancy fore sure.

All my staff are popping by to introduce themselves and each will do a more detailed visit over the afternoon.

Figure I will be here for a week or so. Proper looking spot for a lucky karma kind of guy.

The actual PT is the one thing I am nervous about.
No pain meds for the road or any this AM so feeling the pain for sure. 7 of 10. :(

The food looks edible. So that's good.

Last time I was medically transported was on May 20,.2005 at 850 AM
The other guy ..

@budman just be very cautious when/if you start doing squats (especially with weights). I was making fantastic progress in my recovery until I tore my achilles on the opposite (left) side... that absolutely derailed everything. :thumbdown
 
Yes sir. I am just doing light dead lifts at this point.

Not sure if I will really ever do formal squats again. :dunno

I do get jelly of those beefcakes who are squatting 350 plus pounds. Ha!
 
Been working on balance for a while. Now I am doing more complicated walking, stepping, sliding stuff. I can actually skip. Show the kid I could skip and she was 'OMG your healed!'

Not yet.. just another step.

A lot of weird looking stuff in the gym yesterday.
Skipping, cross walking, walking the line (like a Police drunk test), 5 sec stride balance deal (step to one leg - balance 5 secs and then back to the other balance 5 secs). Engaging the fast twitch muscles. This seems simple, but it is a big deal towards recovery and also dealing with age as I do not want to fall down.

Another week or two of this stuff and I am going to give a Zumba class a go.
I do like hanging out with the ladies so it makes sense to join 40 of them and the two dudes in the class that need to learn how it is done. :x

:laughing
