Resolution Forgotten

Lately, I've taken up swimming again; a habit that had fallen into disuse when I was commuting to Alliance Airport. I just didn't feel like going to the gym after spending three hours in the saddle. When I hurt my shoulder, it took a while for unrestricted operation and swimming seemed like a good rehabilitation for the shoulder. What's more, swimming is an excellent complementary exercise for a bike commuter since it builds upper body strength. What's still more, According to my own analysis, I need to start going to the gym a couple of times a week, though just going there accomplishes most of the calorie burning needed.

Anyway, yesterday, I blithely rode to the gym to go swimming, having forgotten what day it was. Well, the first clue was the full parking lot (none of these new resolvers rode their bikes to the gym, however). The second clue was there were a lot of people swimming, so I forgot about swimming and took the opportunity for a nice, warm sauna.

We need some bad weather to get all these New Year's Resolutions forgotten a bit quicker. Either that or I'll have to hold off on the swimming for a few more weeks.

On the good news front, all the bikes are back to being fully operational, I managed to get our Internet fixed (no thanks to ATT) and I'll have the New Year to experiment with various bag and shower strategies.

And, out of curiosity, just HOW DID the Huskies beat those children of the corn?
