I dunno. I look forward to AR days simply in that it's the only time I can watch TV with really no guilt. Just watch and spin, and glance forward once in a while to keep from falling off my rollers (my garage setup is stupid and I can't get the TV directly in front of my bike). Quite pleasant. Sitcoms are great for this.
I might start having motivational issues once I move my AR days outside. OTOH, I might use them to start riding with my dad or something, so that'll be good. I might start taking these days completely off the bike as well to solve the problem. Use the extra time to read a book in a coffee shop after work.
