Annnnd we're back...

Yes, I know it has been a while since I have written an article. It has been a strange summer, and I found my inspiration lacking with a wrist injury that kept me out of the gym for a month. It is hard when an injury prevents any real effort in the exercise world. Everyone kept telling me that I needed to just do cardio, but I loathe cardio.

Now in the end I did end up strapping on the baby carrying backpack and hitting the trails. I ran some and I even picked up a new sport, but I still didn't have much motivation. Now with my wrist healed I am headed back to the gym with goals that a mere 10 months ago I would have said were impossible. Closer to ever to new fitness abilities I am slowly gaining my motivation back. 

I think the major reason for this second wind of motivation is an up and coming S.C.U.B.A. trip. I did mention that new sport right? This trip is the second week of October and I find I want to be as fit as possible. Not really for aesthetic reasons either. This is the first time fitness hasn't directly related to a physical description of my body fat percentage in my head. I want to be fit because the better in shape because the better VAO2 capacity I have the longer I can stay down because I won't use as much air. This new correlation between fitness and goals is a good thing and one I am quite pleased to have. Hopefully it does not leave once I get back from my trip. 

For now though we will just be under the assumption that it will stay and that the writing will resume its course and that there will no longer be month long breaks between articles.

Glad to be back,
