I'm in southeast Florida, so the temperature goes down to the high 40's from time to time. That's not too cold to ride. But I recently recovered from the flu that started with me on Saturday December 1. It took two weeks for me to feel up to par to ride, then another week to completely clear my left ear. During that time, I've also been overeating, which includes holiday treats that have been brought in to work. I'm feeling better from the flu, but I also feel like a big tub of goo. I have no motivation to get back in the saddle, and I've ridden less than 20 miles this month. I had been averaging 100/ week prior to that, which includes weeks that I didn't ride due to work obligations or vacations. I also usually write down my annual goals for the next year during the Christmas holiday break, but I have no desire to do so now. I wonder if I'm somewhat depressed that I haven't been on the bike much. I wonder if I just get on the bike for a few outings, I'll get back in the right frame of mind.

Have any of you been in a rut? If so, how did you get out of it?
