Stitches not doing well - survival to see the miracles!

Today is Wednesday and it is supposed to be my interval hill repeat training day (hard day) One of the stitches that is supposed to dissolve, has popped out.  But what can I do? Go to my doctor and tell him what I have been doing since that crash?  Riding 100 miles on my mt bike - and working out at the gym.
I am not letting a gash in my leg hold back my training.  I cannot afford to waste that time. Good thing I am older and dont' care about scaring!

I may try it this afternoon the intervals this afternoon.   I think the sit-up chair ab work put too much pressure on the cut in my leg  yesterday, as it was very painful yesterday, swollen and stitch out.  Goes to show that I should be lifting with my ab muscles, aka, muffin top, rather than my shins!
I feel sore in a good way today in the abdomen area, not too much, just enough to know that I did something.  I am surprised I feel I am working arms, but feel no soreness?
Never believed the doctors when they said there are actually muscles behind that belly of mine.

Off to take my expecting-a-baby any day daughter to the doctor this morning.   What an honorable day!
I must never forget that I was told I would never see her turn 16 and drive a car, graduate from high school, go off to college, etc -- the fact is she is 27 and having her second baby.  Every day I am breathing is a gift.  That I have survived long enough to see one grand baby is a miracle!

And thank you, Danielle, for supporting me in this ride in April   - because it is going to be taking the majority of my time to train.  Grandma hood may be a bit slacking - sorry -  My life has changed to being accepted to ride this ride, which may not seem like a lot to some - but certainly very scary for me.
