I feel like I'm starting every game with a fourth quarter body.
The over the bars incident I had with Bigworm weeks ago has scabbed and healed on the outside, but leaves me with an eery numbness in my left knee. I can burn it with a lit cigarette, and feel the slightest pinch. No matter, the pedals go up and down same as before.
The solo crash I had at the Troy State College trail in Dothan, I ratcheted my left ankle up in my cursedly plush Ergon bar-ends. The cut has healed (Go Vitamin K!) but although no bruise is present, it is achingly tender to the touch two weeks after the incident. It doesn't matter though, I use the pang to count cadence every time it comes around at the seven o'clock crank position.
My legs burn from morning to next morning. It doesn't matter if I'm fresh and rested, or all tapped out 20 miles from home. I stretch, but my legs and I, we both know it is a joke. Here is a picture of me in the backyard. You can plainly see that when it comes to stretching, I get by on social promotion- I just show up and try.
None of these conditions may ever go away. If they do I will miss them. I do not have any tattoos on my body (sorry for breaking the magic) but I think I understand the appeal. The ink is OK, but I bet it is the pain that you are purchasing.

I payed for the rockabilly bass thumpin in the background, and the glass of water when I almost passed out.
Has it tried rubbing lotion on it's skin?
I am saving this post for when you are as old as your mom to remind you of how good the pain x 4 feels. ;}
hurt and on the starting squad is still better than second string, right?
