I am just not in the mood

[Matthew_T]

I think the main problem is that I want summer to arrive so much, and I have been waiting insied for it to come. However, I have missed two whole days worth of riding because I am basically tired.

The dissappointing thing is that I am now about 150 miles down on my target to do 6000 miles this year. I have done 655 whereas I should have done 800. I will be able to make it up over the summer though.

Sometimes I just cannot be bothered to go out. I would rather stay in the warm. I dont commute so just go out for fun, but I dont want to see my health and fitness suffering from this lack of encouragement.

Iv often found that when Im feeling in the cant be bothered mood , I end up have the best workout and feel great afterwords. But it can be hard pushing yourself when your not in the mood.

I did another 11 miles today, no shopping but another skinny latte at half way and no squeaky brakes ! It was much colder but dry...I had to put the headband on as my ears were killing me

I'm finding a huge desire to get some pleasure miles in, I'm getting a bit bored of just commuting!

I can't really get out during the week and have now missed he last 3 weekends for various reasons, weather this one - so the only miles I'm getting in are 4 a day commuting. I expected to be behind target until May - but at this rate it will be difficult to make it up!

Its good to rest when the body and mind say so.

Bring on the warm temperatures next week (and summer too)!

I feel a bit the same as you at the moment. I'm a bit down, and this seems to translate into not wanting to get all dressed up with umpteen layers just to not suffer too much on the road - I'm fed up with only going out when I can face the whole rigmarole of taking 20 minutes to get dressed. I want to feel warm - not warm because I've been busting a gut but warm because it's warm.

I had thought it would feel warmer today but though it was dry and bright, there was a cold wind and it felt a lot colder than the weather man said. So I bailed. Maybe tomorrow, eh? Start to catch up on that mileage deficit....

This might get you in the mood.

With me the hardest part of a ride , especially in winter, is from the sofa to the front door. Once through said door my whole mood changes. I wont say which way

Warm today - get out there, and ride up that hill !

Ever since the snow appeared where I am I haven't been out, nearly three weeks I think. Prior to that I was number two in the cyclechat endomondo seven day list, now I've lost my mojo completely.
At least I am doing a bit of boxing indoors to keep fit but just can't get on the bike.
