Yesterday I went for a 39-mile bike ride, which is the most I've ever ridden in a day, more than doubling my previous 19-mile record. My total weekly mileage for last week was 77, also a record. I've been TMS-free for about a year now, maybe a bit less. In a way I feel I am just beginning to enjoy life like I want to. I definitely returned to all my normal activity by last June/July, but it's taken a while to feel like I am in the groove of a regular life. I am scheduled to start therapy pretty soon too because I started to feel like I need to work through some stuff before I can really move forward. I still get some tension in my back and neck sometimes when I am feeling some stress and take a little time out to journal, but my main symptoms (RSI) have not recurred since a year ago. Overall it's been a great year. A lot of it is thanks to the board which has given me a lot of technical and emotional support, so thank you to everyone for that!

I'm happy for you. Right now for me the thought of going for a year without pain would be wonderful! Hope things stay good for you.

I think the most bike riding I have done at any one time since TMS onset has been 7 miles. Actually I bought the bike to challenge my TMS fears. But I just moved to a new place which has nearby bike trails that go on for miles and miles. Can't wait until it warms up again so I can get back on the saddle.
