For various reasons, I wasn’t able to work out for most of the summer; and then, when I could work out again, I kept putting it off out of dread, because it had been so long. (I rode my unicycle a bit, but nothing much else.)
Today, though, I finally got into the gym and did a whole round on the weight machines. I was simultaneously hit by this intense feeling of “Owwwww!!!” and “God, I needed that!!” :-D And I feel much better than I have in a long while.
If you’ve been putting off a workout because it’s been too long, get in there and get it done. You’ll be glad you did.

I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction. SF/F novels I have copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Endeavour, Golden Spur, John W. Campbell Memorial, Quill, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Science Fiction, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I became the first and only copyeditor ever short-listed for a World Fantasy Award.

Right – that’s why I asked for a project where I could walk. I am eating half as much, have more energy and am clearer-headed. I needed the 2-3 miles a day I walk on this site. I hear you on the “ow” though. Stick with it!
So true! I used to train five days a week until a couple of years back, then I sat and got fat… about July, I had enough of that, and I had the same fear of starting until September… and now I’m back to five days a week!
More importantly… you can unicycle? That’s hella cool! I always wanted to learn, since a friend unicycled past me juggling on a beach once, and I knew I needed to do that before I die…
