Since I have started my new job it has been really hard to find time to work out. I even quit the gym, but that based more on economical reasons than anything else.

Sure I went through my running kick, after reading that Roger Bannister book, a while back. I was running one mile a day, consistently clocking in under the Magical 8 Minute Barrier and if I missed a day I would run two the next. And so on (yeah I know not much, but it's a start). Well I was keeping up with that for about two weeks and my times were decreasing everyday. But then I just ended up being busy for a few days in a row and next thing you know I was staring at a 7-mile day. End of that.

And then there was my dream of the Tour de Lakeville. Got my purple 10-speed Huffy all cleaned up and I was on my way. I bought a bike helmet (which unbeknownst to me I was wearing backwards for three days) and had my yellow livestrong bracelet. Oh to be like Lance... It was fun too. I was honestly enjoying myself. Cruising down the streets, wind blowing in my face it was a blast. I still try to make it out every now and then, but for whatever reason that came to an end as well.

Now I punish myself with a grueling regimen of prison style workouts: an hour of yard time where I do push ups, sit-ups and a variety of yoga like stretches. That, two shakes one sensible meal a day...

And if physical activity isn't your bad, I suggest checking out this website.
