I injured it sometime this spring, and it just hasn't recovered. So I visited a physiotherapist last week, and he informed me that I had a bog standard, easy to fix, rotator cuff injury.
So now I am the proud owner of some really large rubber bands and a very specific exercise routine.
I am avoiding other upper body work while this heals... but it turns out London is great for cycling.

"Weiner’s new novel, “The Breakaway,” which comes out Tuesday, combines her old love of writing with her more recent love of cycling.

Weiner does her best thinking while moving, and she has a hard time sitting still to write unless she has done some form of exercise. So when the pandemic started, she rediscovered biking ..."

@dancinyogi It was probably mocking you. Animals do that. They want to remind us we’re not so special.
Early in my #Bicycling phase, there was one hill I always struggled to climb. On the day I was smugly in reach of #makingTheTop, a swallowtail butterfly flew gently over my shoulder and passed me going uphill.
I #laughed so hard, I had to stop pedaling!
