"Were you actually trying to jog this morning?"

How about that! I'm feeling more ambitious. May as well get more calorie-killing value for my time and sweat. The idea of popping up my muscles a little doesn't hurt either.

"But you did not really achieve a full jog, did you?"

I guess not. I was surpised by how hard it was. I was not nearly this bad when I last fell for this kind of enthusiasm.

"Mmm, when you had happy dreams in your head of working up a sweat bouncing around between the sheets in Gabriella's bed, all the way in sunny Florida."

Yeah. Seven long years ago. Of course, I was not exactly in athletic shape then either, but at least I could jog. Not now or at least not much. This extra twenty pounds on my gut is no joke to be lugging around, nor is the greater girliness of my muscles.

Nevertheless, I do think that I will be able to work my way back up to a full jog. I am still feeling very good about this. I really hope it sticks. If no other real value is served by this trifle of exercise, I can tell that it is very good for my mental wakefullness - like it really gets the juices flowing and the thoughts going. I always feel this way though, and I always fall back into my decrepit lassitude.
