I knew I should have posted before I went out for the evening. Oh well, even though it's technically Saturday, I'm posting about Friday.
I had a great workout today. I walked and jogged for 37 minutes. Of that, 12 minutes was jogging. I'm amazed how quickly my body is getting used to jogging again. It helped that I had a day of rest yesterday. I always have my best workouts after a day of rest.
One thing I really love about exercising is that you can always push yourself to new limits. You can increase your speed, your time, your weights, etc. For me, it keeps working out interesting. Training for a race is another way to keep me interested in my workout because it feels more focused that way. There's a goal to be reached. I'm hoping to participate in a half-marathon next year.
The funny thing is that when I was younger I used to hate running (really exercise of any kind). I even got a 'C' in P.E. because I wouldn't even try to run the mile. Now exercise is something I look forward to (on most days). And definitely something I enjoy once I get going. Who knew?

I've always hated running, but I used to be really good at it. Even though I was the shortest kid in my grade, I was also the fastest somehow. Then I had to take a break from running due to injuries and then the next time I had a good run in Junior High, I had an ear infection and didn't know it. I ran the 600 meter and afterwards when my teacher asked me for my time, I said, "It was ... was .... *groan*"
