This past Sunday we had our last long ride before the Tour de Cure event which is quickly approaching. Next weekend we will only have a 20 mile ride. This weekends ride was very rough for me. I actually ended up having numbness in two of my fingers and a little knee pain. The knee pain went away quickly; however, the finger numbness is still there though it is getting better ever day. All of my research indicates it is the ulnar nerve. For this reason we decided to buy some biking gloves for me.
I'm so excited to complete 50 miles on my bike. This sunday we completed 40 - 40 miles on my bike there was a point in my life when I would have thought that was insane and actually today I still think I am crazy at points, but the sense of accomplishment is great and our physical abilities are vastly improving.
This adventure has inspired us to run a half marathon in October - the catch we are running as a two person relay team - still at 6.5 - 7 miles each that is farther than we've ever run and we are looking forward to it.
