So, my posts here have dropped off a bit, but it's for a good reason!
In addition to cycling, I tacked on running. Made a bit of progress here, went from barely being able to run 100ft 1 year ago, to yesterday's 10K run (6.25 miles, for your Freedom-Unit folk) in about an hour.
I really used to hate running. Even while in the military, although I was pretty good at it. I think it's because it used to be treated like a punishment. But, I made a "resolution" to run a 5K race before I hit 40.
Well, with this resolution, I'm ahead of schedule! I ran a 8K race in November (Turkey Trot), registered for another 8K this March (Shamrock Run), and deciding which 5K's to register for this year. I'm shooting for a sub-25 minute 5K, as I originally was going to aim for sub-30, but already passed that on my daily runs.
So, I'm even starting to like running over cycling, but I think that's more a scheduling thing, coupled with it's easier/safer to run in inclement weather than it is to cycle.
