Cardio Hiatus

For my life I cannot motivate my mildly jiggly ass to get back into a cardio routine. But full disclosure – I’d rather cut my toes off than do cardio at all.

During my “big loss” (60 lbs), I had been what some would call “religious” with my cardio – 4 days a week I’d be out there. First the recumbent bike, then walking, then ralking (run/walking), then finally, years later, running full out.

I ran my first 5K in November and then I found out that knees are not so much built for the running. Nooooo. Bad knees. So, I spent some time trying to f1×0rize my knees with stretching, strengthening, positive energy in their general direction. But in the time I spent trying to get them back in order, I’ve kind of lost all desire to move rapidly for extended periods of time. I am officially on cardio hiatus. I really hope that come summer time I’ll have more motivation to do things that aren’t cardio-dedicated. I think I’m more apt to expend caloriebusting minutes doing things like hiking, rollerblading, playing baseball, etc. than I am going on a run. Blah.

So. Here’s to summer and getting back on the cardio horse. I’m going to need all the encouragement I can get.
