start jogging

Just back from the park. 2 miles – not too bad. I need to go lay down now – I’m so tired. All that fresh air – my body is just not used to it. Good thing I don’t have to work tonight. I’m starving too. All that exercise makes me hungry. I loved it though – and so did Herschel. He loves the park. He gets so happy whenever he even sees me jiggle his leash. I need to do this consistantly – why do I always come up with an excuse not to when once I’m doing it, I actually enjoy it!? Maybe because I enjoy sitting watching T.V. more? It starts with L and ends with azy.

I had to change this goal from run a 5K to start jogging…You have to actually jog on a regular basis in order to run the 5K. Baby steps.

Well, I’ve been taking Herschel to the park every other day. I want to today, it’s great weather, but I’m on call and if I got called in it would take me to long to get to the hospital. I guess it’s a few times around the block or a run on the treadmill. I feel so much better since I started exercising.

i suck. ok…i’ve been sick, but still…no excuse. my lab gets fatter by the day – he’s a big chocolate fatso with big brown eyes that plead…”Take me to the park!!!” ok, Herschel, tomorrow we run! We will not be fat!!! I will proudly type tomorrow – I took my Herschel to the park and we ran! By the way – He has a FABULOUS new collar that reads, “Bark if you’re Irish”. I mean, we all know that he’s no Irish Wolfhound, but whatever. He’s big…just like an Irish Wolfhound.

Well, went on a 2 mile run/walk this morning with my dog. We’re both out of shape! It was so great to get outside and I’m so glad I did it. I even met someone with a lab (I have a chocolate lab) and the women I met was walking her yellow lab puppy. We started walking together and since she was in a lot better shape, she kept me going at a pretty fast pace for the last mile. Herschel can’t wait for tomorrow’s walk!

ok..the first step is run. So tomorrow I start. It goes along with my other goal of taking my dog for a walk…I’m not going to let myself down. I should have done it today – the weather was so great! Ok..tomorrow is a new day!
