How you feel today?

Well.... came close to running a straight mile this morning. But I think the leg pain from the impact that stopped me more so than the energy level. One thing I can say for sure is that recovery was a lot faster.

I felt pretty good on Wednesday but stuffed up a bit on Thursday. This morning, the breathing doesn't feel bad at all.

Thinking of taking the lighter hardtail to Nassau with the option of dropping if needed. However, I am a bit worried about the humidity on Sat.

Leg pain from impact? Where is the pain, running a mile shouldn't hurt!

In the shins. When 190lbs come crashing down on relatively thin bones... I would assume 190lbs wins?

Yeah... when I was more consistent with running, was able to run 3-4 miles, altho slow, with no real issues. But this was 2 years ago and since then, I have gained weight and prolly bones weakened as well. In my recent physical, doc told me to take vitamin E & D
 
I don't get shin splints and such till I work up close to 15 miles. Part of the reason I gave up training for a marathon years ago. Take your supplements and watch what you eat, it makes a difference. But mostly it's part of getting old and starting off too fast. Some can jump back right in, I tend to overheat quickly and my heart rates doesn't recover when I start doing something new. Go with a jog/walk regiment for a few weeks till you can jog the whole distance. This can take several weeks.

Try running on a softer surface - I avoid running on pavement so most of my runs are either on my treadmill or on trails.

High shool track. Most are rubber now... I think. I swore off running about four years ago.

I actually don't want running to be part of my regular regiment. Too hard on my joints. Something to do until I can get my commuter out to the city.Something simple for me to do when I cant bike

I know that it's a ticket for obstructing view of the license plate but would this be somewhat reasonable? If not, thinking about cutting the top part of the rack off and making it permanently a 1 bike rack.

Are you going to try and salvage the other bike holder? Two is always better than one. The racks always obscure the plates, but I have not been cited for it.

Agreed 2 is better than one but I doubt I would need to transport more than 1 bike too often. If I do, the other bike can go inside the car.
As for the other holder, thinking about using it as spare parts.

The rack is going to be pretty permanent and I dont want to take it off so might as well try to get it fully legal as possible.
 
Maybe look for a replacement plate holder for a trailer with a lite and rig it up like you might a trailer removable plug?

Too much work lol
Leaning towards cutting it off. Besides... the holder is on the heavy side. Need to save gas lol
 
you'll only get a ticket in a lowered VW.
