Back on the bike

I got back on the bike this week after a little hiatus. I had a little trouble with the saddle I had and switched back to the old one. It was always comfortable, but it was fraying a bit. Pete had given me a nice Selle Italia saddle and I wanted to use it. I just never could get comfortable using it. I rode once on the trainer with the new one and then outdoors with the original one. Original was much better. I'm thinking that I'm going to buy a value pass to Chesterfield Family Center to get my swimming, but I'm going to wait until late January or February. I'm thinking two to three times a week ought to do it. Running has been going okay. I was inspired by all the folks I know that did the full or half marathon in late October. It makes me want to push myself a bit more. I need to fit in some strength training, but I don't know when I would fit it in. I have the time, just not the motivation. The time change is having an effect on me too. I feel like a bear getting ready to hibernate. I eat more and sleep more than when the sun is shining. October was such a drab month that it was difficult to motivate myself to do anything outside.
