    I think what you are experiencing is somewhat normal...things do get "boring" after a while... I suppose.... after all... it does happen to me (alot!)

    Let's see... through the years I have...

    1) 1995-2000... played ice hockey for 5 years... loved it until the drama got too much (too many women in one locker room after 5 years gets to be a bit much... quit on the spot... missed it but didn't regret it)

    2) 2000-2001... lived in the city and did just about everything on the "lakefront"... bike/run/swim/etc...and then THAT got boring, LOL!

    3) 2002-2006... took up running. hmmmmm... I like this. Did a race every weekend and soon did a 1/2 marathon and then my first marathon in 2004 (Chicago)... and again in 2005 (NewYork)... and oh climbed PikesPeak on a "running" ascent in 2005 (that sucked!!). Continued to run... I must have 50+ medals that I can't seem to throw away

    4) 2007 -2008... found biking, lost running, LOL!! cycle cycle cycle and thought I try a bit of a tri Did a sprint in June 2007... it was fun... but alot of work for such small distance. Registered for a HIM (1/2 Ironman)... and the doc's found a 1" tumor in an endocrine gland in my neck (damn those good docs)... there went summer 2007 and my HIM Had surgery in June 2007... neck cut open, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! Fall 2007... met a great guy until he found out I used to run... and then HE started running, so of course I had to get back into it... arggggggggggh!

    5) 2008-current... I love biking, I love running, I love my new (soon to be a year) boyfriend... I do not play hockey anymore (sold all my old equipment).... but I can still outskate most guys

    I guess what I am saying is that I think what you are going through is normal... things get old, they get boring... maybe you need to try something new... ever run a marathon??
