Stuck in a rut of malaise, etc.

The factors stacked against fitness:

Weather -- way too much trainer time

Schedule -- trainer time is almost mandatory when the schedule conflicts with good-weather days

Back -- yeah, it's not so good.

The first two items are probably the key ones. When my schedule is clear to ride, it's crappy outside. And, while I don't mind putting my in my work on the trainer, this winter's been a bit thick on the trainer. Waaaay too much. I'm pretty much at the end of the rope there.

So I don't want to ride the trainer anymore. I probably will, at least for structured workouts, but ... yeah. I really just want it to be 70 and sunny.

I'd settle for 45, really.

OK....maybe just to inspire you to get on the trainer...The difference betwen winners and losers is that winners do things that losers are not prepared to do...Not sure who said it, but I use that saying to get myself on the trainer sometimes so I actually believe that I am on the trainer for good reason.......still boring as batshit and we are in summer here so it is on the road (today in a thunderstorm...got drenched!...still better than the trainer!)

I got on this morning. It was 55 minutes of hell - not mentally, but physically. HR got up to zone 5 and stayed there.

Ouch.

35 and sunny tomorrow. score!
