I have a feeling when I get there, I'll probably fall right back into that trap until my clothes get tight. This, of course, will start the cycle anew. <br />Good luck!microbiologist xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578078880223116616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149574905485287914.post-73063754247716953162010-07-19T11:48:02.154-07:002010-07-19T11:48:02.154-07:00Well, I've discovered the cure!

Injure yourself in such a way that you absolutely can not do any exercise, and then you will switch into a state where you really, really want to go for a run or to the gym, just because you can't.

Perhaps the idea of a whole new sport might be a good one? The Fall Classic is a great run, and has a 5km which is really fun. I think it is the first week of November? <br /><br />I could join you.

I do have another bike ride coming up in a few weeks, but because it's "only" 60 km I don't feel the need to train - the work I did for the Seattle ride should be enough!

After training for something big like a marathon I'm pretty burnt out on running once the race is over, so I plan to start swimming(!) or something in the week following.
