Following on from Richy's "burnt out" thread, wondered what you lot do for rest and relaxation?
I play football twice a week, and enjoy weekends away with my family. Don't get away often enough, so looking at getting something to force us out and away, like a T5 camper, or a holiday home somewhere.
So whats your thing?
-
Hill walking. Fair weather cycling. Occasionally visit heritage railways, museums, airshows.
-
Gym after work every day. Play football 3 times a week. Fishing in the summer. Out on the lash most weekends. Chill out watching football week nights. On here for a spot of window cleaning talk.
Easy life ;D
-
Play football, about to take up mountain biking, snowboarding, play with my little lad :D
-
i trian 3/4 times in the swimming pool in the morning at 6.30
i ride the bike on saturdays and sundays,now the summer kicking in add tues and thursday to that.last week total miles on bike was 175
i also run min 2 times a week ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
but there again i am training for my 1st full ironman in august

-
Weekends with the family and photography.
Finding a healthy work / family life balance is crucial to a happy healthy life IMO.
I'll also be having a 2 week and 1 week Mediterranean holiday again this year.
-
i try and get my girlfriend in bed any chance i get! ;D ;D ;D
failing that i do a bit of swimming and drumming,chill out at a few AA meetings,get away in my car for a walk in the hills/park.go and visit family and friends.
id like to go abroad on holiday later in the year if girlfriend can get any time off from the shop and hopefully ill get away on a few camping weekends if the great british weather gets hot and sunny! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
i love eating out at nice restaurants as well and going for sunday lunch! ;D ;D ;D
-
Mainly drink :P
Since I've stopped smoking I now treat my
Self to posh bottled beer as a reward! ;)
-
I like just being at home with the family and dog.
I also have a big interest in Koi and such spend hours upon hours looking at my fish swim around ::)roll
-
Play my guitars - multi-track ideas as they come to a 12 track Digital Recorder - build them up layer by layer - then mix them down to a master track and burn to a CD - listen to it - decide I could do it better and start all over again ;D ;D
Just like that bloke who was destined to push a giant rock up a hill for eternity - Sisyphus.

-
I go snowboarding 3 - 4 times a week, mountain bike, mainly at Llandegla, carp fishing.
Very close to buying a new bmw tourer (bike) so will be spending a lot of sunny days on that this year :)
-
I love getting high on a sense of wellbeing from days of raw food and recumbent triking.
And I really dig trying to increasing my power to weight ratio through researching and the application of weight training and nutrition.
Man, am I cool or what!
-
I spend most of my spare time drinking brake fluid, I'm not addicted, I can stop anytime! :)

I like to spend as much time as possible throwing myself at the scenery on a motorcross bike, failing that I try it on any other sort of motorcycle I can get my hands on.
I also have involvement with the local Air Cadet Squadron and put a fair bit of time into that as the secretary of the civilian comittee,
