    I love just about all sports (except field hockey...man I hated being forced to play that in gym!)!! Unfortunately, most team sports require a commitment and I just can't do that right now.

    We have been scoping out tennis courts in our area...and I'm thinking about joining in with the group that plays volleyball at lunch here at my office (we have a new sand volleyball court outside). I'm too old for rugby any more....and probably for soccer, too. I gave up snowboarding permanently, but I do hope to get in some skiing this winter. I don't think I've skied since our honeymoon over 6 years ago!

    I ride the bike as pretty much my primary activity during the late spring/summer/early fall....my mountain bike for strength and my road bike for LSD (and intervals, etc.), the patrol bike...well, on patrol. I do a gym workout once or twice a week if I am lucky. I also ride a few horses, move jumps, etc.
    During the winter, I mainly run, spin, and lift. It is funny how my shape changes. I am much leaner looking in the summer, stockier in the winter, but my body fat stays almost the same. I have more bulk muscle from heavy lifting. I just don't do that in the summer, I don't have time.
    In the police academy, because I am athletic looking, can run, fight, do pushups, etc. I was picked first for a team ball game...and the guys found out that I cannot throw a ball to save my life. One day at the department they handed me a baseball and asked me to throw it....and now for a little fun entertainment and laughter I perform my "mad skills" on demand. There is no telling where or how that ball will go.

    Run 4 days a week, cycle 2 days a week and swimming will come back into play once I switch gym memberships. Running is my priority and cycling is more of a recent add in for me.

    Lets see, I bike of course.. about 3x/week. I used to ride more but just have not been in the mood. I do a lot of walking, running and hiking and have re-started lifiting weights again. boy am I out of shape from not doing that.

    Cycling 100-150 miles a week, running about 20, teaching aerobics about twice a week (normally 30 minutes cardio and 30 minutes strength). Really been slacking off Yoga - without a studio nearby, it's hard for me to motivate to do DVDs.
