A Last Hurrah

The final preparations for Vermont are falling into place. A very successful shopping trip yesterday landed me a set of shades, a pair of much needed new shoes and new knee brace. The weather was with me this after work so a quick brick was in order. With each mile I'm gaining more and more conform on the bike, I think I will soon be graduating from the little footy pedals to grown up clips and biking shoes. I followed this up with a leisurely run down on the East River Park as the sun set. 

So, now onto the real point of this entry --- Vermont. My biggest fear is that this left knee 'uneasiness' will grow into something rough during the run. So far it hasn't been anything serious, but I've also been taking it easy to not irritate further. If I can survive Sunday, then I can rest it for a few weeks until my sprint in June, but even that isn't too strenuous. Either way, it'll be a killer time. I'll keep this updated as constantly as I can during the trip and of course, I'll be posting the results....
