Thanks! If I don't end up working thats what I am gonna do on monday.

Honestly, the thought of running when I could be on my bike makes me want to hurl. If I still have the time or energy to run after a ride, it tells me that I either didn't ride hard enough or long enough.

Admittedly, I don't have the most structured training regimen nor will I ever be in "peak" condition. And that's OK because that's also what keeps training fun and interesting.

There are two things that I've found help round out my time on the bike - boxing and surfing. An hour of alternating between heavy bag and speed bag work and skipping rope is a great complete body workout. And surfing for an hour or two is a decent workout but more so good for the soul. If I can't do any of these, then I'll go to the gym.

I used to do the triathlon thing. I had a swim coach that told me i "swim like a brick"
I loved -LOVED- running.
Post knee surgery it's a pain to do.
I am heavier now, so no doubt thats a large part of it. I still ride my bike form work to a meetup spot and run with my wife (She runs -I jog / look like a total cook) and it feels great to run after a ride. I always could run significantly further after warming up on the bike than just running alone.
When training for the San Diego international triathlon, I looked forward to my bike/run brick workout days.
Probably won't ever do another tri, but it's a great way to get in really good shape.

I've jsut recently started more cross training, hitting the gym 2-3 times a week and mixing in riding and hiking more. Best feeling was having my wife hand my ass to me on a hike last week.
