Still on the topic of saddle sores

I went to a different bike store this weekend.  #1 Because it is open on Sundays and the one down the street is not.  #2 They actually address Try Sports and not just biking so I can fulfill any other needs there as well.  #3  In hindsight they were much nicer and better at service than the store down the street.  #4 I am just tired of the noise and nudity and madness....  OK that point might not make sense to others... unless you know who owns the bike store down the street....

I was so pleasantly surprised.  I walked in - it was a slow day - and the sales clerks went out of their way to help me.  I said I was looking for something for saddle sores.  And the next thing you know she handed me a tube of cream specifically designed for women. COOL.  Next she asked me if I had been riding my trainer alot this winter.  This is the first time anything I have come across with saddle sores equated it to the bike trainer.  I nodded excitedly.  And the next thing you know she is talking about a block to put under your front wheel.  My yoga blocks at home sprang to mind.  In reality it is a specific CycleOps piece that you can put under your front wheel to to raise it so you aren't leaning so uncomfortably forward while on the training.  Neat...  I don't understand why this wasnt explained to me by other said bike expert... 

So we shall see how that goes.  No need to get into TMI out here but really feel like a month on the beach and no biking would be the only cure.  Instead I did ride this evening for a bit.  I have switched it up some - 10 minutes on the bike with a series of jumping jacks and pushups and then another 10 minutes on the bike etc...

This evening instead of the roasted veg I had tuna fish and green beans.  So simple and so tasty.  I havent had either in a while.  Glad I found them in the kitchen.

Going to try to run tomorrow morning.  Well wait, the weather is about to come on.. that will help me decide for sure if the run should happen.
