So I have done about 25 miles on the bike the past week but have managed to put 10 pounds on since I have stopped running. Sucks but I hope to be out again next weekend as I am seeing the doctor next Friday and hopefully I can get a cortizone shot. On a second note, we have booked a nice little vacation for this summer. We are taking my mother and grand daughter to St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. We have stayed at the resort before, the Carambola, which is secluded and quite nice. Can't wait but it most likely will be hotter than hell there in the middle of July. Love the heat I do. This is an arial view of the resort. I did a bit of running the last time I was there and it was quite nice to get out in the country
