It was warmer today (48) with light wind so went on a bicycle ride with some friends.  We rode up to Fort Harrison park and went around the loop to get in some hill work.  I was feeling good and worked the hills hard.  On the way back out of the park. I was following one of the other guys when we were about to go back on the road and there was a pole in the middle of the path to keep cars off of the path.  I didn't see the pole and hit it with my peddle.  It threw me over the handlebars and landed pretty hard.  I hit on my left side knee and elbow and also stuck out my right hand which dislocated my thumb.  When I got up had to put my thumb back in place but other than that wasn't in too bad of shape.  After walking around a little I was able to ride back to the house.  My hand was really sore and swelled up pretty bad.  All in all I feel luckily that it wasn't worse. My knee is still sore and tight so not sure if I will be able to run tomorrow.  The hand should get back to normal after a few miles.  I did get in 25 miles and some good hills during the experience.

Philly: Traveled up to Philly today and was able to get in a run after meetings and before dinner meetings.  Stayed inside on the hotel TM because I am at the airport and not many good places to run.  I felt some better today from the bike accident.  At least my knee was good so I could run.  Still a lot of pain in the shoulder and elbow but was ok while running.  I felt good running and would have liked to go a couple of more miles but had to get to dinner meeting.

It was a great day outside today with temps in the mid 50's but it was very windy.  I felt pretty good starting out and just took it easy.  I didn't wear a watch and just ran by how I felt.  Nothing special just good to get back outside.
