Longest one yet me thinks. I guess I’m just out of steam. Anywho, I was looking at my web counter today and noticed that all my regulars were still visiting which made me feel guilty for not posting so here we are. Uh, hi.

How about an update? It’s a long story but suffice to say that biking has given me tennis elbow probably because I lock my elbows when I ride, consequently I’ve been off the bike for over a month. It’s very frustrating because I’ve missed some premium riding weather not too mention had some less than pleasant subway commutes.

What to do about it? Well I’ve scheduled an appointment next week with an acupuncturist seeing as how western medicine pretty much just prescribes pain killers for the problem. That’s not really a solution in my opinion. A co-worker had the same problem and acupuncture helped her out so I’m giving it a go. I also found this device online that has been reviewed very favorably for the problem so I ordered one. Fingers crossed that I’ll be back on my bike soon and ideally on one that has a more upright riding posture so I’m less inclined to stress my elbows.

Let’s see what else? Oh yeah, I’ve noticed lately that I’m beginning to “feel” my age meaning that I’m a little creakier than I would like to be so I’m taking some steps on that front as well. Starting Sunday, I’m attending a four week yoga course for beginners.

I’ve taken yoga classes a few times before but, due to the class having mixed levels of ability, always got irritated because I wasn’t sure where I should start. The beginner course I’m taking is specifically designed to teach you the proper form with individualized instruction so hopefully I’ll have better luck learning and then continue to practice.

Speaking of age, my birthday is rapidly approaching which will put me solidly in my early forties. Oof, in the immortal words of the Talking Heads “And you may ask yourself-well…how did I get here?” I don’t know, I really don’t. Peace out!

Ps. Thanks to all my regular readers for sticking around, it warms my heart. Really. I’ll see if my little mind can come up with some content so your persistence is rewarded.
