I've been almost exclusively walking and rowing since January 1st. Mostly because of the broken crank on my spin bike, and partly due to a pulled hamstring from my race on New Years day. It's been a little frustrating since I was hoping to run a little more often, especially since I can't spin, and I thought it would be a good way to work on running endurance and pace. I like the rower, but I don't have the dedication to spend 60-90 minutes on it every day, so I feel like I'm treading water and losing fitness and motivation. Not really how I planed on starting 2025.
The weather here in Florida has been cool, but otherwise pretty nice and I decided to take my bike out and ride on the trail. I really appreciate that we have a nice trail system here in Pinellas county, but my only wish would be for a few less street crossings and more bridges, because it's a pain in the ass to stop all the time. Yes, it's better than being a hood ornament, but it is a pain in the ass. I think that was the first time I've been on the bike since September and it felt great. I was a little slow to get started, so I didn't ride as long as I planned; only went 24.5 miles, and I completely forgot how to use the garmin equipment (Pro tip, don't try to figure it out while riding), but I got it all working and had a good ride.
Long story short, I might be the only person looking forward to vacation so I can exercise again...
