Still plugging away here

Plugging, sure, but not blogging much.

The second half of February and all of March were crazy rainy. No outside workouts at all. Well, three. Snuck in a bike ride here and there. And managed to get in a three day motorcycle offroad event in around Death Valley that was epic with a small e.

But enough slacking around. Exercise brings motivation (possibly more than the other way around) so it is back to being disciplined about at least working up a sweat 3 times a week, preferably more.

When I was working though, if I went too long without a good workout, my upper back would tense up and it would be hard to sit at a desk. Now that I haven't been working for a while, that symptom didn't show up. Not working out just felt like having more free time. It was just that it was usually free time where I didn't really feel like doing anything and knew I probably should.

Swimming half a mile is a better pick me up than a cup of coffee. Strange things you learn in life.
