Ran outside yesteday for the first time in months

[Burning_Inside]

Good lord did it suck.

theres a soccer field by my house and I run around there during warm months if I'm dieting. I did 3 stinkin laps and was about to die. I haven't smoked pot in months either. I do have asthma tho', i guess it likes to kick me in my ass every now and then. Damn it sucks tho feeling so out of shape cardio wise.

Be happy at least, that it is time to un-hibernate brother!!! I am! I HATE cold weather. Thats why I'm considering moving. I honestly get very depressed during winter months, then become envigorated during the Summer. It's a condition for which I don't know the name. It has gotten worse as I get older though.

I feel your pain. Got on the bike the other day and it wasn't long before I was getting winded. I feel so out of shape.

Same here. I'm still bulking for another 2 months or so, though. I've gotta try HST for one full-blown cycle done right.

Does anyone have any idea what that condition is called? I would really like to know, because I'm the very same way. I just figured I was making excuses when I'd tell my girlfriend that I get depressed or down during Winter, but according to you, Atomic, there is an actual issue there.

Less daylight. More time indoors. Dressing in layers = more time preparing to go places. Those combined, get me every time, but I think if I could still go outside & be warm, I would probably forget about the daylight issue.

Running out in the cold during winter makes you stronger. I seriously dislike it.

But even though it was wind chilling well below zero, at 6:30 am every Tuesday there were a bunch of GIRLS down at the track and I could not stay in bed and let that pass.

Very nice, Synpax...

Seasonal depression, I found out myself right after I made the post, but thank you.

Wow, I just can't grok that. I'd love to have your "problem". I dread the summers. Having every damn day be 100+ degrees for 4 solid months is just miserable. Phoenix is the worst place on earth.

Wow. A word that originates from a science fiction author. The only book I read by him was Starship Troopers, which was an awesome book.
