Back on the bike, and discouraged
Hey Everyone,
I just started cycling this spring with my husband who races. I was very fit and able to pick it up with some ease. However, I ended up having major surgery, spent two months in a bed and am now trying to get back at it. But, all of my endurance is gone and I want to turn around after only five miles. I'm exhausted all the time and I never feel like doing anything. I'm discouraged because it has been almost three months since my surgery and I feel like I should be doing more by now. Plus the wind and the cold has really picked up with the Michigan fall.
I'm thinking of joining a spin class at my gym to keep me motivated through the winter.
Anyways, I could use some encouragement if anyone would like to pass some along.
Thanks!
words of encouragement (?)
Hmmmm...ok one nice thing about midwest fall/winters is that all of the racers tend to get fat n' sassy. This is your chance to hit those spin classes and really hurt that racer-boy hubby come early spring! :D
Err unless he is one of those sick souls who lives for 'cross season. Then you really are in trouble :p
Seriously, 3 mo. after major surgery is not all that long. You'll get back into it. Hang in there!
