In much better spirits this afternoon. Dunno if it was caffiene finally kicking in or what, but I felt a ton better this afternoon. Interestingly, this "feeling bummed out" might be from the goddamn Aleves! I thought of this after talking about NSAIDS with a patient and my CI, who said that H20 retention is another common side effect...which quite possibly could explain my weight gain over the past couple weeks. But while looking online, it looks like (along with a myriad of other effects) "feeling bummed out" can result from eating Aleves like candy. :| That makes me feel better.

Speaking of, the knee is feeling better. Either today or tomorrow I'm going to start phasing in really easy running to compliment bike riding.

Went for an hour ride this afternoon. The wind annoyed me but wasn't horrible. What sucked is that on the last 15min of my bike (after having it in my face going W/NW the first 30min) I got the wind again! WTF? I hate that. Other than that, it was a good session. Didn't hammer -- just normal pace. Listened to NPR news the whole time, which was actually nice.

Ate a couple turkey burgers and veg, then went shopping for groceries and Keith's bday gifts. In bed by 10.
