Yeah -- I know what you mean. When I was riding, it was because it was something I'd wanted to do for AGES, but never did, for whatever reason. So I started taking lessons, and honestly, I looked in the mirror one day and was like, "....!!" because I'd somehow, without realizing it, gotten into the best shape I'd ever been in.
The one thing I'm concerned about is my knee. It's always been a bit weak, and used to bother me when I rode. I know I'm going to need to get a good brace for it, but I'd really like to build up my lower body strength BEFOREHAND so I don't stress it quite as much. I know it's going to be a lot of strain, but ... I'm actually ready, willing, and able to look past that discomfort.
What I've decided is that I'm going to give myself a solid four weeks of workout before I start up again. But I really, really loved it, and I miss it SO much.
(And if you ever visit, you're welcome to ride my horse, as well. XD)
