It sounds more like a chore and something you feel like you have to do when you do go riding." She seems to have summed it up better than I could! I guess I'll just take a continued break and when the urge to get back on the bike returns I'll haul my overweight butt out for a few miles.......and suffer.
Whe I used to run every day there were plenty of "blue" days where I just didn't feel like doing my 5 or 7 mile loops. I would tell myself I could get dressed for the run (shoes, shorts, etc) and only do 1/2 mile --just to loosen up, and then return home. I always ended up doing the full loop and fully enjoyed it.
