I get it &#8212; not the most\u00a0<strong>positive<\/strong> word I could choose. Sufficient unto each day is the biking therein, or something like that, and today I noticed yet again a couple of twinges that have been hanging around for a bit. Maybe writing about them will exorcise these tiny demons.<\/p>\n<p>But first, a quick note on\u00a0<strong>enjoyable<\/strong> aches. These aches show up when I&#8217;ve exerted myself in a way that makes me feel <a title=\"I Am Woman. I Bike. I Am Strong. On Bike Style Spokane\" href=\"http:\/\/bikestylespokane.com\/2012\/07\/19\/i-am-woman-i-bike-i-am-strong\/\" target=\"_blank\">strong<\/a>. I&#8217;ve enjoyed various forms of ache-inducing activities over the years, from weight-lifting (got an A in a college PE class) to dragon boat racing in Spokane to yoga practice including doing 108 Sun Salutations for a winter solstice celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Bicycling has provided many enjoyable aches, all of these representing\u00a0<a title=\"30 Days of Biking, Day Six: Dates\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/2014\/04\/06\/tips-for-a-great-bike-date-30-days-of-biking\/\" target=\"_blank\">bike dates with my sweetheart<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My first-ever 50-mile day riding the Newport Rotary Great Northwest Fall Tour in 2007 (<a title=\"Northeast Washington Pine Country\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/destinations\/northeast-washington-pine-country\/\" target=\"_blank\">northeast Washington has beautiful bicycling&#8211;you should visit there with your bike!<\/a>);<\/li>\n<li>The 94-mile first day of Tour des Lacs a couple of weeks later (the Newport ride was a test of my distance capacity);<\/li>\n<li>a Coeur d&#8217;Alene-and-back just-because<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And now, for the less enjoyable aches, which fortunately are few and far between.<\/p>\n<p>Ache #1: Tailbone. I mentioned this as a possibility for the word of the day over a week ago, thanks to a tumble I took onto a cement floor setting up for the <a title=\"Spokane Bike Swap\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spokanebikeswap.com\" target=\"_blank\">Spokane Bike Swap<\/a>. That&#8217;s what can happen when you back up to get a better look at your booth layout and don&#8217;t realize someone has set boxes behind you.<\/p>\n<p>Biking relevance for today: The early feedback from my body was that with a bruised tailbone, biking was a much better idea than walking because the impact of my foot striking the ground hurt quite a bit. Every day I&#8217;ve ridden any distance, however, I&#8217;ve noticed the tailbone bruise yet again when I dug a bit deeper in muscular exertion to get up a hill or start from a dead stop on an incline or come out of a light in downtown with a lot of cars behind me, which motivates me to move quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Today I had those climbing elements plus a little bit of walking as part of my ride. <a title=\"30 Days of Biking, Day 20: Purpose\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/2014\/04\/20\/30-days-biking-day-20-purpose\/\" target=\"_blank\">I scouted a new way to climb the ridge out of my neighborhood last night<\/a>, but misremembered the turns this morning and found myself facing a longer rather than a shorter hill. Not ideal and I ended up getting off and pushing, thus experiencing tailbone walking impact plus climbing effort all in one package.<\/p>\n<p>Ache #2: Calf muscle. This little hangover lingers courtesy of a really bad leg cramp that struck Friday night. While not as bad as the punishing ones I experienced when <a title=\"Take It Easy: How NOT to Increase Your Weekly Mileage, on Bike Style Spokane\" href=\"http:\/\/bikestylespokane.com\/2013\/06\/03\/take-it-easy-how-not-to-increase-your-weekly-mileage\/\" target=\"_blank\">I tried to boost my mileage too far, too quickly<\/a>, it was still a monster. The fact that my muscle is still sore if I rub it 3 days later is my proof.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been prone to charlie horses all my life; I even get them in my feet after wearing the wrong shoes on a long day. I add Nuun tablets to my water bottle every time I ride 10 miles or more, which seems to help but doesn&#8217;t entirely eliminate the problem.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, I just learned that kiwis are higher in potassium than bananas.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, today&#8217;s bicycling, while beautiful and springlike and enjoyable and a lot of other <a title=\"30 Days of Biking, 30 Words, 30 Pictures: Day One\" href=\"http:\/\/wabikes.org\/2014\/04\/01\/30-days-biking-30-words-30-pictures-day-one\/\" target=\"_blank\">fun<\/a> words, also represented a few aches.<\/p>\n<p>No picture of my tailbone or calf shall accompany this post.<\/p>\n<p><em>Day 21 in the 30 Days of Biking, 30 Words, 30 Pictures-except-for-today series<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Faster, Higher, Stronger, on Bike Style Spokane\" href=\"http:\/\/bikestylespokane.com\/2013\/07\/20\/faster-higher-stronger\/\" target=\"_blank\">Faster, Higher, Stronger, on Bike Style Spokane<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Take It Easy: How NOT to Increase Your Weekly Mileage, on Bike Style Spokane\" href=\"http:\/\/bikestylespokane.com\/2013\/06\/03\/take-it-easy-how-not-to-increase-your-weekly-mileage\/\" target=\"_blank\">Take It Easy: How NOT to Increase Your Mileage, on Bike Style Spokane<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Listening to Your Legs\u2013Or Not, As the Case May Be, on Bike Style Spokane\" href=\"http:\/\/bikestylespokane.com\/2013\/09\/02\/listening-to-your-legs-or-not-as-the-case-may-be\/\" target=\"_blank\">Listening to Your Legs &#8212; or Not, as the Case May Be, on Bike Style Spokane<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"I Am Woman.
