Richie, even 1-2 gym days weekly is terrific; don't look at that as a bad thing. That, combined with your outdoor exercise, is a very commendable fitness regime. This is a better routine than 99% of people out there and should be sufficient for maintaining a relatively high level of fitness.
I'm down to 1-2 days a week at the gym right now too at the moment, but the way I see it, as Arnold says - the pump is always worth it. Once you have experienced 'the pump', keep remembering how amazing it felt, and how it gets better and better the more you go. That feeling, combined with good music while you're there, are two stress-releasing reasons to go make your body and brain happy. Same with the physical transformation that is, of course, the most amazing thing to experience when the work goes in.
