Running

So, this past week I’ve started trying to jog on a regular basis. I’m still paying for my gym membership, but since we get home and Greg doesn’t want to go out again – and really I don’t want to 1) waste the gas to go to the gym after work (I’d rather go on the way home, but I doubt thats going to happen) and 2) go alone… I’ve taken to running up the street and walking back, or walking both ways or something like that. I suprised myself by being able to jog to the top of the street, which is about a mile. So last night I ran to the top, walked for a bit (basically stopped at the target to get a drink of water) and jogged back. I did at least 1.75 miles. I’m happy ^_^ But it HURT.

But, if I do this on a regular basis, I should really see some progress soon I hope. Though I really should stop paying money for YMCA if I’m not using it.
