The past 3 weeks I have been dealing with the flu and a lung infection. Between the uninspired workouts and the antibiotics, my fitness has really taken a hit. I went to gym last night to do a treadmill run. I was slow and awkward. It felt like starting over. On the upswing, I had a rockin mountain bike ride at Crabtree yesterday. I was in the last mile or so and passed 2 bikers. One of them decide to chase and I put the hammer down to stay ahead. That was sweet. I turn 45 tomorrow so, the old man still has the juices flowing.
My sickness made me think of others who struggle with a busy schedule, sick kids and long hours at work. It has to be frustrating to kick start the motivation after a busy period. I keep myself motivated by the fact that I have come back countless times and always find a way. Carve out some time for yourself today and get some exercise. Your body, mind and family will thank you.
