I thought that I ought to start documenting all the fun I'm having, the lessons I'm learning, and anything else that makes me smile. I also figured family and friends might want an update on how things are going now and then and what better way to share than via a blog.

yeah for jogging
So over the last few months as work, school, and social life have been keeping me very busy, I have not been out and exercising as regularly as I would have liked. Studies keep me at the computer for long hours.....work is sitting at a computer, and my social life, doesn't always include hiking, walks, biking, or jogging. I decided last week that I needed to do more. Last week I got a little exercise in walking at lunch at work, but I knew that to get back on the fitness wagon it would require more than that. Tonight I got home from work, looked at the book I should be reading, and decided that I would go out for a jog. Now, keep in mind I haven't been out jogging for a while, so I said to myself "I'll start the timer and see what happens" So I started out on my slow jog and went and went and went for what felt like forever. I looked at the timer and a whopping 3 and a half minutes had gone by. I decided not to pay any more attention to the timer. Instead I kept telling myself, you can make it to the next stop sign. There are quite a few on Tupelo. I repeated that phrase many times over during my jog. I finally got to a stop sign and decided that my legs were getting pretty tired. I checked the timer and I'd jogged 11 min straight. Not too shabby for not having jogged in a while. So I begin this week afresh ready to again include 30 min of exercise each day. Woot Woot. :)
