on dec. 30th, i broke my tibia (shin bone) in an indoor soccer match. i was in a full leg cast for 6 weeks. then i got a walking boot, which i am still wearing, and am supposed to wear until the end of march. it's healing great, and just in time for spring!!! i know in the grand scheme of things it's not a long time, but here in oregon it's been beautiful most of the winter--
but, today i rode my new trek 520 to work, with my walking boot on, and it was great!! after having to sit around all winter, i'm going to ride like hell this spring!!!
