Hi, I was around for a few months ago and disapeared. I am really missing biking and wondering if anyone has words of wisdom. I don't know how to fit in time on my bike and the energy for actually getting out there.
I'm working 7 days a week right now and will be for the next 3 weeks at least. 50-70 hours a week. My job is extremely active. I walk ~12-15 miles a day we figured.
taking a summer session class in school.
Trying to straighten out other life stuff.
mom's having another round of surgeries and biopsies, post cancer stuff. Everything's going very well and All Clear but still stresful.
at the end of the day I'm just ready to drop.

I really wanted to try and ride a century by the end of the summer, there's no way I see that happening anymore. Do I just give up for awhile or what? I know this is less bike related than personal life, but when do you figure that biking is something that's gotta give for awhile? I feel like I'm missing out on something I really love as well as well as failing at a personal goal. But I don't see how I can have -everything- Has anyone here temporarily given up biking and gotten back into it?

In happy news, I AM healthier now, I've lost about 13 pounds and discovered that I have abs. Discovered that the south beach diet doesn't have to be militantly followed to make some super yummie recipes based on it that are way healthier than what I use to eat. My deep undying love for sweets and junkfood but I've realized I won't die if I indulge it once a week rather than once a day.

I still really miss my bike and bike time though.
