Eee! I jogged!

OK, so it was only about 2/3 mile. But still, that's the most I've done at above a fast walk since I was in high school, I think. I just put on my sports bra, leggings, and sneakers, did a bit of stretching, and started. Basically, I went down to the Brooks parking lot via the bike path, then turned around and came back. Stretched a bit more. It was both harder than I'd thought and easier. I guess I thought that it would either not be as hard as I'd expected, or it would be hard enough that I'd have to stop and walk. Neither. Ok. That was kinda cool. Now I need to go to the grocery store, but since I'm bringing my bag, I'm not running there. :)

I took up running recently and I love it! Hope you keep with it - it's really rewarding =)

I tried doing that. That's how we discovered I have arthritis in my hips. I kept getting sharp pains in my hips while we ran. After a couple of weeks, when it wasn't getting better, I promised M that I'd go to the doctor, who then sent me to the orthopedist.

How would my life be different if I just didn't know? I don't know...

Yay for you and yay for exercise--theoretically I do it four times a week, largely in my own home at the moment since my gym moved to an inaccessible location. (Arrgh.) I have a couple of DVDs that work nicely. I may join the local Y soon as it is closer than the irritating gym. However, I say "theoretically" as I am taking some computer classes, looking for a job, and trying to write a book, all at one and the same time. Takes up a lot of time and I only have so much energy...

I'm going to try a mile today, if I have time!
