That was last Friday- the final round of anesthetic injections to my left hamstring.<\/p>\n

Also on the list of needle-related appointments was a trip by scooter out to Chiropractic Memphis for acupuncture. One of my former students is working at Affinity Acupuncture<\/a> in Nashville and comes to Memphis every two weeks for a Friday\/Saturday. It’s the only thing I’ve found that makes my lower back completely pain-free. I’d highly recommend him if you’re in either Memphis or Nashville (comment here or though facebook or email me for his contact info).<\/p>\n

I can’t wait until it’s scooter time, all the time.<\/p>\n

The doc gave me the go-ahead on the previous visit to train as normal following the injections, so, on Saturday, I took to the road for a spirited group ride. Turns out, when the shortest\/most intense intervals you’ve done in the past 4 months are 10 minutes long, the attacks\/chases\/etc. of such a ride create quite the pain cave.I spent the remainder of the afternoon resisting the urge to eat everything in sight.<\/p>\n

It was nice, so I cooked outside:<\/p>\n

Here’s a random dog photo. Penny’s tail is always blurry unless she’s sleeping.<\/p>\n

Sunday was a much-needed recovery day, then Monday was an interval day. I started with some greenline\/trail to warm up, then went to my usual spot in the middle of Shelby Farms where there’s a long, flat, and lightly-trafficked road that’s great for that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3646\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s been laying on the unfinished part of the greenline for a couple of weeks now.<\/p>\n

Today, I’ve taken the chance of another recovery day to do my usual errands, which included a trip out to Bike World\/Nimblewear USA <\/a>headquarters to finally put in the order for my 2014 Brickhouse Racing kit! Looks like it should get here in about 3 weeks. Looks-wise it’s mostly the same as last year. I’ve basically just changed some sponsor logos around and gone with an upgraded fabric\/cut for the jersey & bibs.<\/p>\n

I know my posts have been a little on the light side as of late. Trust me, I’m looking forward to some excitement just as much as you are. Hopefully the last few “serious” workouts prior to Warrior Creek go smoothly (the high notes- a 5 hour MTB ride tomorrow, another group ride Saturday, and one last grunt of 2x20min intervals on Tuesday) and I arrive in North Carolina ready to smash some pedals… or at least make a good story in the process of trying.<\/p>\n
