start jogging

I did 1.5km on Friday. Not a lot, but definitely a start. It’s so hard to get back into the swing of things after neglecting exercise for a while. :)

I’ve started hitting the gym again. Hopefully it’ll be more than a “phase” this time around! I hoped on the treadmill yesterday and much to my horror, realised that I can’t actually jog for more than 500 meters without having to stop! I’m in far worse shape than I thought.

OK well I’ve fallen off the wagon a little bit with this. During the exam period I stopped going to the gym and working out, with the intention of continuing my exercise routine once exams were over. Well exams finished in November, and I haven’t been to the gym since then! Uni starts up in Feb – I will join the gym again and try to make more of an effort this year. :)

I joined a gym a few weeks back, so I’ve taken up jogging on a treadmill… today I ran about 3km :) I’ll mark this as “done” in a few weeks’ time. It’s quite interesting how only a fortnight of exercise a few times a week makes you feel so much more energised and focussed. I feel like I’m a lot fitter now.

Well my friend pointed me in the direction of this website

and I downloaded the first podcast and went for a run today. I felt pretty good afterwards and I will try to go out again in a few days. Also I’m considering signing up to the university gym which will make my workouts a bit more convenient.

Well yesterday I twisted my ankle while walking home from university, and now I’m in a fair bit of pain. (Now I have a legitimate excuse to put off the jogging!)

Went for another run last night at about 10 pm. It was great as there were very few people around. I ran further than I have in years, so I think I’m improving. Yay

So I went for a jog for the first time in over a month a few days ago, and I am still sore.
