Inactivity

This has been a slow year thus far for cycling. I think I've ridden my bike three times in 2009! I've been injured or sick for the last two months and have done almost nothing exercise wise other than a few push ups and dog walking. My second daughter is due to arrive in just a week or two and motivation to workout has been very low. I have not been commuting to work due to having an expecting wife at home. My pants are telling me it's time to lay off the office snack machine and Coca-Cola products.

I did manage to run a few times this week and struggled to run two miles at an 8 min mile pace. I'm shocked how out of shape several months of doing nothing will suck the fitness out of you. Six months ago I would not break a sweat running that pace, now 8 min/mile feels like 6 minute mile pace.

The fly fishing bug has hit again like most Spring and Summers. I've caught a few fish and look forward to getting some time on the river in the canoe after we adjust to two little girls in the house instead of just one. I also have a real desire to go camping in the mountains or even just a long day trip. That itch won't be scratched for a while with an infant in the home.
