Motivation comes from within

Wow...its hot and humid


So Sunday and today Tuesday I biked too and from work. Last time I did this was 4 weeks ago, and it was relativelyeasy. A major difference is the temperature between now and four weeks ago. Four weeks ago it was about 16 Celsius(60.8F) this week it is 32 (89.6F). Now for some of you that might not be hot, but with the humidity it is about 40 (104F). So I am killing myself doing my 12 miles around 1pm in the day on the way to work. For those that don'tknow 1pm is the time of the day here when the sun is at its highest. So I am a crispy brown now (Or my eyes are so sunblinded the red looks brown.) Anyway, as tiring as it is, I am sure that eventually I will start getting that biker highagain, where I'm on cloud 9 for most of the day after the ride, and not on cloud pillow where I want to be after the ride today.


So in other news, now that biking has started again, I am also swimming. I'm not sure if I'm swimming because of the health benefits, or because it is soooo damn hot. So I am swimming daily, perhaps not for the right reasons, but still excersize. I plan to startthe couch to 5k program this week. Eventually, not totally sure when, but this week you will see a post where I started it.


I am guessing I should go to the gym soon and get weighed and perhaps touch base with my personal trainer. I am kinda leery aboutgetting on the scale, for the fear of gaining too much weight.

Well off to work


Oh..and Switzerland lost :(
