When running problems become riding pleasures

This summer hasn't been kind to my running: Shin-splint, muscle tears and now tendinitis on my left Achilles! This unpleasant situation has forced me to literally “shift gears” and ride my mountain-bike instead of running.

This is no punishment at all as I fully appreciate my early morning ride, when the sun is rising and nature is at its best. I'm so lucky to love mountain-biking as much as I love running!
