why wy?

I never thought I could do it, but I jogged 5km yesterday, and the cherry on the cake is that I am not aching today. The last time I jogged 5km was 8 years ago, when Joe and I first started dating. He liked to run, I thought I could run, we tried running and I almost died. It was a tearful experience.

Over the last year, I've been jogging, just short 20min jogs, mostly because it is free and doesn't take up too much time or planning. When Joe came over to visit, he wasn't as fit as before and for the first time, I was ahead of him. I'm sad to say that it was a turning point for me, for the first time I could run faster than him. There is hope for making 5km after all! My usual 20min jog turned out to be 3km, the next job I ran some more and 4km was possible, then 5km wasn't that impossible to conceive. So the deed is done. It was painful at the end and I did get a blister but the satisfaction of being able to do it was worth it.
