Observations/Intel: Well, that was a much longer layoff than expected and I missed pretty much any and every goal I had for last year. Instead, what I did was have a lot of tooth trouble and much larger issues of hardcore depression. Everything seemed entirely exhausting and daunting (a lot of it still is)...couldn't manage to get a gig sorted out, which really didn't help (still don't have that part done), but I didn't want to keep being used to have a set routine that involved working out during late morning, which I would to change and adjust and also planned to get to a gym, which I find myself missing greatly. So, the idea was to move things to nights and so on, but the tooth fucked things and motivation became a huge issue.
As noted, despite a lot of Air Dyne time, which helped things, my performance on the bike, once I actually got on it, was complete garbage, which was a gigantic setback to some other plans I had floating in my head. It wound up being a perfect storm of circumstances that sent me into a pretty hard spiral. I've been debating the Air Dyne on and off for a couple of months, but it's been really cold and as it gets towards night, I find myself much less interested in going to the basement where the Air Dyne is. I got stuck up my own ass good and hard and it wasn't until today, when it was excellent spring weather, and I saw some others cruising around on their bikes, that I decided to air up the bike and get in the first ride of the year.
There's a lot of construction around, so I might need to consider putting the bike on the car and driving elsewhere, but I really want to go do a lot of that exploring I had in mind. As I'm now more content with the idea that I will necessarily have to have a much slower pace until my fat ass is more in shape, I'm going to try to start working in some longer rides as long as the weather holds out.
Legs were, as might be expected, a bit off...but not nowhere near as bad as air, which was fucking awful. Definitely need to get back into the swing of things and do some Air Dyne work, even if the weather doesn't work out for riding. At least I seem to have my motivation back, which is a very nice and welcome return.
