Why did I decide to pick up jogging right at the start of winter? Today it was below freezing but sunny so that helped. I knew I would feel great after going, but I was mostly hoping the jog would relieve some of the terribleness (if that is a word?) I am feeling right now about our infertility.

It didn't. I am still angry, bitter, sad. I had a good cry, so nose was doubly snotty (from the cold and the crying)....

Tomorrow is a new day.

jog journal day # something or other.... week two

Reasons I have talked myself out of jogging after successfully completing one week of jogging:

I need new shoes, my feet hurt
Had to go grocery shopping instread, literally would have starved to death if did not
Raked leaves in front yard... pretty much the same as jogging
Woke up with a sinus infection

These are all true and in my opinion valid reasons not to go jogging..... so why do I feel so guilty?

One week, officially. How do I feel? Happy I am doing it, but wish it was easier. My own fault though.

Lungs are not good today as last night I washed down a couple of shots of patron with a couple of cigarettes. Probably good thing I got some cold fresh air in them!!

Also, quite terrifying are the squirrels this time of year.... I swear I almost got attacked a few times!

Running sucks...... grey and cloudy today, like my lungs.

Took Jackie the squirrel hunter again today. She persisted on trying to stop at every spot previously pissed on by another dog. Then decided to poop at the precise moment a lady was passing with her dog. Did I bring plastic baggies to dispose the poop like a good pet owner should? No. Cripes! Put my acting skills to use and "pretended" like I didn't notice what was going on (a big stretch for even an Oscar worthy actress).... then wondered as we passed if good pet owner lady would scoop up the present for me? Doubtful.

Took a different route today... shaved 10 minutes off my time... hmmmmm.... new route shorter?! Oh well, now I know. I still worked up a sweat!

My 14 lb. squirrel hunter, Jackie went with me today. She is such a good girl! Again it was a beautiful day. Yet I know in my head winter is just around the corner and am wondering how many times I will roll an ankle on unshovelled sidewalks?

Lungs hurt less, woo! Legs hurt more, boo. Took Louie, the 35 lb. frenchie with me. The day's beauty was blocked out by visions of him pulling me in the red wagon neighbor kid left parked in their yard. Ahhhh.... that would have been a lot more fun!
