OK.. so.. exercise and weight-loss yada yada bores me rigid.. Talking about weather bores me..
I have been guilty of the weather talk.. and I am sorry to say I am about to say something about exercise..
Today. I jogged.
I have a goal of 5 hours a week dedicated exercise – this week I managed 3 hours.. but today.. I jogged (not for a freaking hour, mind you). Last time I got a bit of a jog going on I thought my legs were going to snap off at the ankles.. Today the only thing I felt was a big fat grin spreading across my face.
The dog was surprisingly encouraging.. He was trotting ahead of me, and then when he looked over his shoulder and saw me running after him he stuck his head down and galloped off like we were racing.
Anyways. Jogging is fun. Writing this here to remind myself.

Well done…I haven’t been on the treadmill for four whole days and am feeling quite angry with myself…seems like every time it’s in danger of becoming a habit I have to sabotage it…still, tomorrow’s a new day, as they say.

Ugh. I hate jogging and running. That’s why I bike. Hey, if you had a bike, you could keep up with Taz.

Yay to the jogging!
I’ve been mixing up my walks with interval jogging. And I know what you mean – the first time I jogged back in 2007 I thought I was going to die. I was practically crying and cursing Rod (my trainer), whose only response was that if I could swear I could jog faster.
But now – even though I still can’t jog for a sustained distance/time – when I start up the “run” there is a smile on my face.
