You may be thinking Ann Arbor or Detroit, but it's Lansing. Lansing is actually shared by two counties is Michigan and is centrally located on the glove side of the state.
Physical: 10 sit-ups
Personal: Ride my bike everyday.
Result: Challenge completed to the best of my abilities...rode my bike 5 out of 6 days. My ribs are still bothering me a month after my injury. I took it upon myself to go surfing on Tuesday. I had been experimenting a bit by "junk-diving" which is essentially standing on a sand bar and jumping into waves. We finally had some swell Sunday-Wednesday, so on Tuesday, I decided to paddle out. Mind you the only thing that hurts surfing is paddling as my ribs lay on my board. You also have to use the lower part of your ribs to help plane your board upwards or downwards depending on your position on the wave. Enough of a surfing lesson...I caught two waves and was in some pretty severe pain. I literally sat on my board and wanted to cry. That night I discovered while playing softball, that I had pulled something in my back, adjacent from my ribs, apparently from overcompensating for the ribs. All this being said, I said, I did not ride my bike on Wednesday. I rode with pain Thursday-Saturday. I do not know why, but "taking it easy" just doesn't compute in my brain. Maybe if I had a full body cast, it would register that I was truly injured.
