i went to the gym today, fourth time this year so far. i know that's not a lot but its a start for me. i would much prefer to spend a couple hours out riding my bike(s) but seeing that it's been a cold and very wet winter tends to keep me inside and off the bike. i love to be outside but i don't mentally cope well with sub freezing temperatures and working out outside. guess that's the southern boy in me. anyway, i haven't been a gym user in a few years and it's definitely an adjustment for me but it's also a step in the right direction. i am sooo much weaker than i used to be, which is a little humbling but also expected. i need to get my fitness back! not just for physical reasons but it really helps me mentally as well... seems to keep me stable. i want to start racing bikes again this year, both road and mountain. i might even try some running events again as well. it's been a couple years since i was competitive and i've come to the conclusion that i need that outlet in my life, it's just a part of my personality that i can't suppress anymore.
well, that's all i have for now. hope everyone is doing well. smile, and make the most of your day! xoxo
