Been doing it long enough that would have thought it would have worked itself out from a fitness standpoint but after 3-4 days commuting it's actually a grind - and not really enjoyable.

I will add that I'm a Type 2 diabetic, and 52 years old, and maybe I'm expecting my body to be in a younger fighting trim than what it is. I've bounced it off my doctor, and I get the impression he considers the way I am just fine and dandy since I'm able to come off almost all diabetic meds and the discussion ends there. I'd just like to be able to ride every day without A: fatigue or B: needing the weekend to just recover. FWIW, I ride either a Lemond road bike or a Trek MTB for the commute, so it's not the fit of a particular bike, and I've even had the road bike professionally fitted.

Anyone else have a similar issue? Ideas/flames/eye rolling accepted :-)
