I'm Back

OK. So it's not really a triumphant or glorious return. More to the point, I'm just going to try to start taking control again. I guess maybe the cycling injury really pulled me down for a long time. I'd always know that cycling is my passion. Needless to say, I've been a bit gloomy. However, there's so much in my life to be grateful for and I know realize that coming back from this injury is going to take time, dedication, and persistance: the same formula that gets me to race fitness. That said, today I am grateful for:

• Kristina is feeling better than ever. Her energy is up and so to is her spirit.
• John Cannon is here. Everyone has been so supportive of our choice in name and more importantly his arrival. Visit him here: www.johnbeckworth.com
• Michelle for being persistant and patient.
• Work finally levelling off. It's may now. I'd planned for things to really level off by mid-March, but best laid plans... right? Well, better late than never.
• Getting John all registered
• Great advice from so many people concerning the items for which we should register: Janie and Scott, Erica and her friends, Emilio.
• Getting some advice from Casebolt that if I want to cycle for the long haul I had better listen to what my body is saying. Here's what I've accomplished to that end:
• Starting bikram yoga at Sunstone Yoga. Megan and Angie are awesome and pointing me into the right direction to help me heal. Yoga is now part of my healing plan.
• Ice massage. Ooh so uncomfortable, but the differences is near instant. I've been able to do it 2 of the last 3 days.
• Microcurrent. Also part of the plan to do everything right.
• By doing everything right I will give my injury the only option: healing.
• Everyone saying how handsome John Cannon is. I know its only a sonogram photo, but I think they are right.
• Our journey to parenthood.
• You
