So I last jogged 12/03/11…Wow! I last jogged 12/03/11.
I didn’t realize it had been so long. Time really can fly.
I never blogged about that day because there wasn’t much to say that I can recall.
I do recall running into Napolean Dynamite.
Well, I didn’t run into him, but I did see him.
Really! It was the bike, the hair, the long lanky body, and the glasses.
If it wasn’t him, it was his double.
I should’ve asked him about that, but it would’ve broken my run. ;-)
So for some reason, because I’m trying to get back into working out, I decided to do Tae-bo yesterday.
The weather has been too cold to jog outside on the trail. By the time I can jog on the trail, it’s too dark.
Well, I haven’t done my Tae-bo DVD’s in quite some time, maybe years.
Why I thought I could all of a sudden do the boot camp one is beyond me.
I did it though, but am unable to successfully walk or do much today.
As long as I take it slow, I’m good! :D (Although it hurts to cough, laugh, or sneeze!)
I ran around my complex because it’s well lit.
Of course after I checked the weather when I got home,
I realized the 54 degree weather may not have been the best weather to run in.
Still…I ran my 3 miles, if not a bit more.
I didn’t know how long I was running, so I ran a little over the most time it’s taken to run 3 miles.
I stopped to walk twice, but only allowed myself to walk for one minute each time.
As I jogged around, I noticed all the Christmas decorations that were simple, yet brightened the neighborhood.
Even the houses in our old neighborhood didn’t have anything.
Sometimes having less is more for some.
I thought it was great and a festive holiday feeling.
It got me to thinking about those who don’t have much these days and still try to make the best of it.
I’ve heard the stories on the news about people who paid off others layaway just because.
I also heard about a woman in our city who didn’t have much.
She still did what she could to be sure the children in her neighborhood would have something for Christmas.
The spirit of Christmas still survives.
The New Year will bring new challenges, good and bad, for all who embrace the challenge.
I’m hoping the New Year will bring good things for me.
I’m working on making those positive changes.
I wish every luck who puts some effort into making their challenges a success!
