Trying to Get Back to It

Good morning, Readers!
Picture
I know I've used this image before, but I do love it. Nabbed this from wallhere.com.
I have returned to my usual routine this week, which means that I am sore and tired.  For the record, my usual routine is lifting weights every Monday Wednesday and Friday at lunch,  (I say every Friday, but a lot of the time, I'm too tired to do it Fridays, so I often can be found snoozing in the sauna instead.  Naps are great), running and martial arts training every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.  Sunday I do nothing physical.  That's my recovery day.

It has been a couple of weeks since I've abandoned my schedule.  I was unwell and otherwise occupied, so as usual my fitness routine was the first to be sacrificed.  I regret this, as I always feel so much better when I'm active.  It's a vital part of my mental health care strategy (it's not foolproof.  I still spiral, but it does help).  I was supposed to return to my schedule last week in the middle of the week.  I did not, because I was a lazy bum.

But I'm back now, and hopefully I'll be able to keep it up for a little while.  It is so easy to break a routine, and so damned difficult to regain it.  Normally, it takes me about two weeks to settle into the routine.  If I can stick with it for a fortnight, I should be golden.  Happily, I think I'll be able to keep up with my run training, as I've now got a running partner in my friend Tom.  It's a lot harder for me to make excuses for not going to train when someone is waiting for me.  So in my running, at least, I should be keeping up.

For the record, Tom couldn't run yesterday, but I still went.  I did not run outside.  I don't have the running equipment necessary to run in the cold and snow, so I have taken my runs inside to the Y and the treadmills once more.  I used to like running on treadmills, but after spending so much time running outside, particularly in the cooler months, I find running on treadmills to be dull and weird.  I get a little dizzy when I step off to find the ground beneath me no longer moving.  It's weird, and I don't like it.  I'll put up with it, though, until I can run outside again.

Hopefully, I can keep this up.  Wish me luck!

Now, I have a book to write.  I had hoped to have it finished already, but, well... that's a topic for another day.

​Ciao!
