Mostly I just want to get back in shape. My preferred form of exercise is swimming laps, but other than the campus gym, finding a place with a lap pool that isn't overpriced is challenging at best, let alone finding one in a convenient area. Running is easy to do anywhere and I need to get over my distaste for it.

I did a 4th day of week 1 today. We had more crazy thunderstorms last week (Friday: tornado warnings & no power after 6pm) so my "week 1" has gotten way stretched out & I wasn't feeling quite up to starting week 2. I took the dog and we did 2.1 miles avg 14:18 min/mi. Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday evening will be nice and I can do W2/D1.

My morning commute to high school was a mile or so by bike, 3 miles by school bus. My mother used to send me out of the house with, "Look around you!" I think of it often as I jog and try to notice changes. Now if I could recognize birds and birdcalls....

See, I love walking and I do it a lot*, it's just running that I hate. But I think that's because of all the drills gym teachers made us do - which SUCK when you are terrible at running. And sweat easily.
*My boyfriend and I specifically chose the house we're moving into because there are so many things within walking distance.
