Pre-jog thoughts: Wanted to jog in my head, body not so convinced. But as soon as I hit the path, I get jumpy and ready to run. That’s a good thing.
Jog thoughts: The bitch on the iPod was mysteriously absent until the last five minutes. Figured she’d leave me hanging when I needed her most. I need her to mark my spots on the run with her cheery “5 minutes completed”. I managed pretty good, but I’m going to have to figure out how to get her to follow me on every run. Maybe I should bring her a donut or two…
Post Jog: Really happy to be jogging again. WHAT? Yeah. I’m afraid to admit it out of fear of jinxing myself, but I do feel so much better after jogging.
What I Noticed: When I started my run, I was in a pissy mood. When I finished, I was physically spent, but felt like I’d cracked through a shell and emerged a new person. I like jogging because it gives me that feeling every day.
First time for…not feeling my lungs would burst at the end. Progress, progress.
