Lazy. That about sums up how I feel right now. Too lazy to ride, too lazy to hike, too lazy to even write a post on here. Hopefully this funk gets cleared out. I went on a 20(ish) mile ride on the fixed gear on Saturday, which felt good. Something nice about the fixed gear, I haven’t ridden it in a little over a year. I walked into my basement, aired up the tires, lubed it up, and put a wrench on a couple bolts to make sure things were tight and I was out the door. Nothing to fiddle with. Can’t beat how simple that is. If I think of it, I will post up some of the GPS data from the ride.

Sunday, mark me down for nothing other than a dog walk. Monday, mark me down for nothing more than a dog walk. I am going to try and get out on the snowshoes tonight just to see how the snow is and how my hip works with them. In years past, I have always had a hip plexor issue when snowshoeing. I think it is because there is a lot more weight to “pull up”. With some of the trainer exercises and stretching I have been doing, I am hoping it doesn’t give me a problem this year. I have some big plans for snowshoeing. Before, anything past 8-10 miles and I couldn’t walk for the next week. I don’t want to be put through that again.

I really just don’t want to be on the trainer, so anything at this point is better than nothing. I have everything set up, but every time I look at it, I just want to cry. I don’t like trainer riding, not even one bit. Hopefully I can try my hand at XC skiing and that will be something else to keep the aerobic side up. I have friends in Maine, who don’t own trainers, that they only XC ski and every year, they come out of the gates whooping us who use trainers. There is something to be said about XC skiing..
