Keeping Up

Wow... getting in shape is tough stuff. A few weeks ago I decided to get my bike fixed, which I hadn't ridden in years. I was pretty pumped about using it, with my mind set on riding it to work every single day! Well realistically that lasted only two days. I only live about 1.7 miles from my work and for the most part its flat the whole way there. I did manage to make it all the way to work and back two days in a row. Then came the weekend. As the weekend ended the motivation to get back on my bike lessened. Its now been I think two weeks since I've ridden my bike.

I'm going to start with something a bit less intense than the bike ride to work. I like the idea of incorporating exercise with my commute to work. It seems to be a time saver all around vs having to pay for a gym membership and and then finding the time to go. I have a plan now to walk to a train station where I can then take public transit to work. Its 0.7 miles from my apartment to the station and then another 0.3 to get to work once I get off. So combined walking one way will be 1 mile. So with commute both ways that 2 miles of walking every day! Not to bad.. Now I just need to stick to it! Lets see how I do........
