20.03.2025 Oh, the pain!

 ~o~

  Thursday 20th 35F/1.7C. Another overnight frost. Bright, with another sunny day promised. Though much more cloudy than yesterday. It could reach 13C/55F this afternoon.

 Up at 6.30 after a quiet night. I am aching all over from yesterday's physio class. My thighs are really painful when I stand up. I have been massaging my quadriceps to relieve the pain. I was doing a lot of squats yesterday. Usually with weights up to 16kg. 

 Am I fit to have a proper ride today? I had been looking forwards to going further. I had several rides this week. No ill effects until now. I had better have a walk to see if that helps. Or throws up more complications. 

 8.10. Back from a short walk. Cold on my hands. No real problems with leg pain while walking. If I take the spare bike battery I can use Turbo mode to assist me to get home if need be.

 9.15 I could barely crouch to fit the battery in the e-bike! It is painful to walk about indoors. I must be an idiot to go for a ride today! I'll have a short ride to see if it is worth going further.

 9.30 46F/7.8C. I had a test ride for a few hundred meters down the road. It hurts when I pedal. No ride today. I'll go for a drive instead. 

 12.45 57F/14C. Mostly sunny. Back from a drive to several villages to the north. I visited six charity shops. Timed it to return in time for lunch. My legs were hurting all morning. Walking, climbing steps and getting in and out of the car was very painful. Mostly due to my quadriceps on the front of my thighs.

 Dinner was fish fingers, pasta, peas and tinned tomatoes. I have been in agony all day. I can't sit from standing. Nor stand from sitting. Without fierce pain in the front of my thighs. It seems to be getting worse. I only missed two physio classes. I have been cycling decent distances. Why am I suffering?
