Update:
My bike tyres can't handle the roads around here,
third puncture in as many months, all from little
rocks, I've been trying to work the legs and the
cardio by playing football here and there, according
to American Dad, "like kangaroos and rapists, a
wrestlers power comes from their legs."
So legs have been on the agenda for a while, not
sure if they are really progressing too much, I
need to get new bike tyres asap!
Have you gotten new tires yet? My housemate said that you should check the rims to see if there are any burrs (he works in a bike shop, and 6 of the 8 bikes in the basement are his). It could be compounding the problem for you. Or, you could ask FrostedFlake. He seems to know his stuff with bikes.

I have been very busy with a lot of stuff lately,
mostly work related, but also academic so my
morning workouts have taken a hit...
I really am at my limit with all thats on my plate
right now, the work I've been up to latley is
extremely physical so if I had tried to keep it up
this week, I don't think I would have been able to
make it through the day, so yea very tired atm, I
don't feel too bad about it, definitely will be
burying myself in a heap of workout hours
beginning next week, after next week I don't know
what my schedule will look like so better to cram it
in before then.
Hmmm.... sounds like my life sometimes. [:D] My housemate had to schedule a meeting with me to talk about some things. lol. I hope you're taking care of you with all of that work and workout.

Actually, I'll mention about injuries, I've had a mild
but persistent case of tennis elbow for years, it is
now almost non-existent, that is four months of
careful, structured exercise and a healthy diet and
I have basicly got a brand new elbow! Thats was
pretty unexpected! I kinda like using that arm as a
pillow... I don't think it likes it... [&o]
So I set out not really having a specific goal in
mind, just to improve generally, and on almost all
counts I'm quite happy with myself so far, I would
pat myself on the back if I could still reach it...[:D]
Hope this gives a bit of encouragement to you guys,
It has for me!
I'm glad you're happy with where you are so far.
As for me, I'm happy with the progress I've made, but I've been contemplating hiring a trainer for a session or two to figure out more targeted workouts, and to make sure that I'm keeping it balanced. Oh, and to figure out how to get rid of the squish factor. I've been working on my abs a lot, and while I can definitely see improvements (note the belt hole post earlier) and feel actual muscle there when I flex, it's still covered in a layer of squish. I would love to get rid of, or at least lessen that, but I'm not sure if what I'm currently doing will be enough to achieve that, or if I need to change something.
One improvement that I'm noticing is that my knees aren't giving me problems as often. I've started changing out my rowing machine at the start of my workout for the stationary bike. I used to not be able to go for very long because my knee would start hurting/clicking. Now I'm finding that I can do it for a while, and at the end it's the muscles that are hurting (in a good way) rather than my joints. I'm really looking forward to taking my bike out of the basement now that it's warm enough (yeah, I'm a wuss and didn't ride in the winter).
