Jogging

I went jogging for the first time in a very long time this morning. I'm still not sure what came over me. I got up, went down to the basement to workout like I normally do, sat down on my recumbant exercise bike and I even started to pedal as if I was going to do my normal workout. And then all of the sudden, I got off the exercise bike, went back upstairs put on some warm clothes and headed outside. Before I even fully realized what was going on my body started to break into a jog. It was a little frightening, but the most frightening thing of all was that I kind of liked it.

I didn't exactly pick the best day to pick up jogging; it was 20 degrees this morning and there was ice on the sidewalk. But still, I persisted. Like I said, I'm not sure what came over me.

I thought I was in pretty good cardiovascular shape before this morning. I haul ass on my exercise bike, and I think that I was a force to be reckoned with on some of the hiking trails in Hawaii... I may breathe a little heavy but I have pretty good stamina. But for some reason jogging was just kicking my ass this morning. I would jog a block and then have to walk a block. I think that I have found myself a new challenge.
