Bicycle Ennui

[snapdragen]

Can't figure out what my problem is. Ever since I got the sinus infection from h*ll (which has been gone for weeks now) I've had no desire to do anything. My bike is sitting in the garage, getting dusty. If this keeps up, I won't be able to fit into my "fat" jersey, let alone any of my shorts/knickers!

Anyone else ever have this problem? Do I just need a good kick in the butt?

I am having the same problem. I know I need to get out on the bike, but I don't "feel" like getting out on the bike very much. I just rode for about 30 minutes and I had to come home due to fatigue. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Is this the same sinus infection that kept you from riding in the Cinderella??!!?? If so, that really is the sinus infection from h*ll!! What does your doctor say? It can't be normal to have one for this long! Poor thing! Isn't there ANYTHING they can do for you?

I know the feeling. After doing a big metric century in Chico I thought I'd be anxious to ride again, but even after I got in my cycling clothes last Saturday, I sat down to pay bills and cleaned house....Arrggh... altho at the time it seemed like the right thing to do....
RX: Watch a bit of a Lance victory via DVD, grab a friend and do a short ride. It's sensory memory and all good things, even motivation for a ride, will come back to you.

That's what you did instead of riding Diabo with us? Tsk, tsk.

We'll have to get you out this week. Ride with us tomorrow after work. We head out at about 5:15 - 5:30.

Yeah, Cinderella was the beginning of it. It lasted about 5 weeks - 3 of those on "big gun" antibiotics. It's gone now, I'm just having a hard time getting my energy back. I'm also on daily allergy meds/sprays, hmm, maybe I'll check out the side effects - might be the cause of the low energy.

Claritin just about puts me out if that's what you are taking.

I finally got off my butt, thank god, I was down with the blahs for a LONG time.

I promise myself "just ten miles", and I seem to be able to handle that, and of course sometimes do alot more.

Am finally finally getting some strength built up, thank god.
