Lately my running has been beating me up. Not during the run, just after. Regardless of how much I foam roll and stretch, the next few days are brutal. It doesn't matter whether I go 5 miles or 15...the body is just wrecked afterward.
That being said I just purchased a great new road bike. It's a Cannondale 6 Carbon 5. I researched for a straight month, lost many, many auctions on Ebay; and realized that the best thing for me to do was to buy new. If anyone reads this and is also considering a new bike, just know that I looked very heavily at Specialized, Trek, Look, Felt, and Cannondale. You can not go wrong with any of their all-carbon bikes. I only went with Cannondale because I was able to get the best deal.
I rode it today at lunch time and crammed in about 15-20 miles. With a carbon frame, this bike is primed for climbing and just plain GO-ing! It's a blast, and I don't feel beat up, but feel like I got a good workout. Here are some pics of the new ride. Hope you're all healthy!
