Its now been about 1 month since the 2008 Marathon. Unlike last years marathon in which I was back out on the streets running within 1 week, I have yet to go out even for a single jog this year. Starting to feel a bit lazy, I grabbed the bike pump, filled the tired, and jumped back into the saddle. Being almost winter here though, I'm not that nutty to go riding outside. So I'm on the trainer in the basement. I must admit that I was unusually sore after the first few days. I have after all taken off from riding and swimming for most of 2008. Getting back onto the bike has got my triathlon vibe back. I haven't registered for anything (running or triathlon) for 2009. But its nice to be back on the bike.
Whats the point here? I guess, that even for people that seem to run all the time, and enjoy it, get burned out. Its ok to take a break. Perhaps switching things up is just what would be good for you as well. If not running, maybe biking, or swimming, or yoga, or oh.. I dunno.. Bellydancing fitness classes at the local park district. Whatever gets you active.. its like Milk. "It does a body good!!"
Peace

Oh Yes! I agree. I too did my first run on 10/28. Only a 5k. It felt good to be outside, but I must admit, I miss the nice weather. See you guys soon.
