Yes, I had a brilliant idea yesterday after my blog post. I was going to go running. Now this wouldn't seem like too bizzare of an idea for me, I ran cross-country in HS for all 4 years, ski all winter and train in the off season. Except once I stopped running with other people or as part of a training plan I realized I really didn't like it. Now add that to the fact that running uses your muscles differently than skiing and you have a rather painful early season experience. I've run a few times so far this spring but have done next to nothing (and when I mean next to nothing, I mean I've done a few sit ups and push ups a couple times) for the last 2 weeks or so. Got home from work yesterday, stretched out, and went out to run for 20 min. The idea of exercising felt good, but that was about it. I think my entire body rebelled against the run. Of course by the time I got back, ate (a delicious salad by the way, like the one's I made for dinner at Cana Dulce last summer) and showered I was feeling pretty good. I do need to start getting out more...to do something... After not training at all last summer I've seen how much even a little bit helps.
As an update on yesterday, I did start looking for yoga classes, and hit a bit of a dead end. I'm thinking about joining a gym so I can use a pool to swim laps too. Now that makes things more complicated...
