How was your August?

[Crankin]

I think I see a pattern here... WE ALL HAVE LIVES.
I don't want to get burned out on cycling, the way I did with aerobics. I got so burned out, I stopped exercising, or did it half heartedly and gained weight and felt miserable about myself. Not to sound flip, but if you are riding centuries every weekend and training for them, what else can you do? Cycling and other out door activities are the main part of my social life, but I also like to sit and do nothing, read, go out to eat, theatre, spend time with the few non cycling friends I have. As time goes on, I am doing less long rides. One metric this year and maybe 4 50 milers. My mileage is still the same, though, because I am doing more errands and other utilitarian riding on my Jamis. I also am finding my body needs to do other things besides cycling, or I can't maintain my weight. So hiking, walking, and yoga have taken up some of my time.
September is a wonderful month to ride.

Well, I figured it was time for a change so I joined the local gym. I have wanted to work on my core strength and upper body anway. And there's an eliptical trainer there too. Maybe I just need a change of pace.
