Can you forget how to ride a bike?

Sunday ended up being a wash. I hate that I didn't go out for a ride the weather was perfect. On top of not riding, I get to the gym and lock my keys in my car. It's funny the way things work out sometimes. In a weird way, I felt pretty good after waiting on AAA for almost 3 hours (gave me a lot of time to think of how it would have been different if I had rode instead). My half-assed workout didn't even matter. I was just happy I had my keys and it didn't cost me anything. I really need to make myself get on the bike. I haven't ridden my bike in two months. I've taken it to my room to hook it up on the trainer, but of course I haven't. The thought of being on a trainer terrorizes me.

So Monday I really pushed myself. Started with sleeping through a 6:45am spin class. Whoever said it gets easier to wake up with the time change is a lie. I made up for my slacking later in the day with a 50 minute yoga class at lunch. After work I wasn't done, I went to the pool and swam 1500m in a freezing cold pool (nothing like a little teeth chatter). What's up with all the pool heaters breaking at the same time? Then to finish things off I went to Bikram Yoga for another 90 minutes. It's was a lot but pretty low impact which is nice for recovery. Though i'm still pretty tired. I hope I can pull off multiple work outs like that (that actually improve my endurance or speed or something) when in-season training starts back up. So now I sit here tired, maybe dehydrated, and disinterested in doing anything but sleeping in this gloomy weather. Tropical Storm Ida wasn't really feeling the idea of me getting back to running today so I will try again Wednesday or Thursday (after last Saturday's debacle, you couldn't pay me to run in the rain). Maybe i'll get a second wind later that will push me to the Gym, but right now it looks like rainy Tuesday is going to be a lazy day.
