On this beautiful May afternoon I had my first bike ride of the spring outdoors.  I pedaled for 30 minutes on the local roads in Jackson. Didn’t want to overdo it on the first time out.

My (Rob’s!) one speeder.

I have been rolling my calves quite frequently during this time off with my foam roller.  I am pretty amazed at how many hot spots I have found.  The literature on rolling procedures says to concentrate on those hot spots by keeping pressure on for from 30 to 90 seconds until the pain dissipates.  I’ve been trying that, and it seems to be working pretty well.  It’s possible there ware a lot more knots in my calf muscles than I ever realized.  What I’ve been reading suggests that these knots may be a contributing factor to problems with Achilles and further on down into the foot.  Maybe I can alleviate some of my nagging problems with more consistent rolling.  I will update.
