I have been at this for about 2 months. I had to start out slow just walking 3 miles a day. I have lost about 26LBS so far & am 9LBS away from my target weight of 175LBS. I'm a 42 year old guy. I'm starting to figure out how to use this great website & all the tools it has to offer. I started my log lastnight & hope to get more thorough.

Can you all check my Motionbase link in my signature & give my some opinions if it works. I feel I'm making a lot of progress in my biking. I can't start running again for at least another 2 weeks according to what my massage therapist told me yesterday due to a reaccuring lower calf strain. I started participating in swim classes last week 3 times a week & also use a fluid trainer on my bike.

I may try a duathlon next month, but I'm primarly focused on doing some Olys next year & hopefully get one in under 3 hours by the end of the year.

Congrats on the weight loss, that's fantastic.

I just read about your crash in your log. How are you feeling today?

Thanks for asking, I was really sore when I awoke, went to my doctor & he found nothing major wrong. He told me I can continue to train as hard as my body will allow. I started to feel better as the day went on, I rode my bike around the block, the only pain was getting off & on, but no pain while riding. I went on a 3 mile hilly walk with my family this evening & felt great. I will probable go for a 10-15 mile ride tomorrow evening & use my fluid trainer a lot this weekend. I'll see if my instructor will allow me back in the pool on Monday, my doctor cleared me to use the pool in a couple of days.

Unfortunately, I can tell that this hip injury will have a devastating effect on my golf swing, so much for my dreams of th PGA.
