I am such a tri-slug. I've done nothing athletic for....oh...let's see...I've been dating J. for 9 weeks now...yep, nothing athletic for 9 weeks. I ran the 1/2 marathon the day before I met him. I've run twice since. I think I've ridden twice since. No swimming. Sigh. I feel wonderful, happy, in love, but my back's been hurting a lot lately--the same right illeo-sacral area where I always had pain. Time to get back with the aerobic activity that really diminishes the pain. I'm thinking of getting a trainer for the bike after Christmas. It would have to go in my dining room. I have a pretty small apt...I just don't want to have to go through that "getting to know you" phase again with the bike, as I usually do in the spring.

Today the high is going to be 11 degrees F, which is a bit cold for running. Running's the main thing I did last winter. It's not at all bad after the first 1/2 mile of freezing!

So how about the rest of you tri-slugs? I know you're out there! Can we motivate each other back into it?

I've told J. I want to watch Kona this Saturday--I want to watch it with him so he can see why I love it so much. He's such a sweetheart...but I digress. Watching Kona is always a huge motivator. In fact...I may just pop last year's DVD in now and do some pushups! Go, Tri-slug, go!
