The Off-Season....

Well, it is the off-season for those of us that like to get outdoors and be active. This year it seems that I am really embracing the off-season. I have absolutely no motivation to work-out. I seem to be in those dreaded January doldrums... I am not sure exactly what it is that is making me feel this way. But even when I was in FL over Christmas, I was feeling this way. I am usually up and out enjoying the weather, riding my bike, swimming, or going for a jog. I only went for 1 small bike ride and I only made it into the pool 3 times, with a max distance of a half a mile.


You see that polar bear in the middle, yeah, that's me... Maybe it is the fact that I do not have a gym membership right now. But wait, I have a free gym right near work that I can use, so that must not be it... Maybe it's the fact that it gets dark early and it is cold out, therefore my biking to work has disappeared. Or maybe it is just because I just don't want to be active for a while... Maybe I spend so much of my time running around different places when the weather is nice, that I need to hibernate for a while. That can't be it, I like being active...

I can't quite put my finger on why, but this lack of motivation is annoying me. I really want to get over it and get back to being active and working out. Only time will tell... Hopefully I'll be back out there soon!!

(PS. It seems like it is more than just getting exercise, as you can tell, I haven't been updating the blog either....)

You need a little more snow to play in. I went snowshoe running last night and skate skiing this morning. Both are excellent workouts. There's room for you here in Minny.

Well, I did go skiing for a day last weekend, and then I sat in the hot tub a lot...
