Three months of no running. I am a long ways off from running regularly again. Grade 4 runner's knee has stopped me in my tracks.
The problem is that I'm not doing anything at all. I was swimming a couple days a week but my gym has taken over the hour I was swimming for kids lessons. Little twirps. Now the only time I can go is after 7pm on Weds or after 8 pm M, T, Th and F. Weekends I can realistically only do Saturday.
I've gotten used to getting home right after work, nice and early.
I cannot deal with the elliptical trainer. Nope nope nope. I thought the treadmill was bad. I'm thinking about a spin class but I probably can't stand or use a high resistance so what's the point? I tried a yoga class and the instructor was terrible.
I do see a personal trainer about once a week when one of use doesn't cancel.
I don't have a bike anymore and am not interested in riding again. Various reasons.
So I'm throwing all the roadblocks and excuses out there for not exercising at all. Running is so easy, just go whenever I can fit it in. I can't do that anymore so I'm getting bigger, none of my pants fit anymore and I'm not handling stress very well.
Any suggestions for getting back into the swing of things?
