I've walked twelve miles since Monday

To you runners and power walkers that might not sound like much but I have a balance problem which is aggravated by distance; the longer I walk the worse it gets. So this is a huge milestone for me, even though I'm incredibly slow; people in their 80s regularly blast past me. My goal is 65 situps every morning and to walk ten miles a week. It's only the sixth day of the week and I'm two miles over my goal. I've been doing this since the middle of November and have gone down one pants size, well, more like one and a half. It feels good!

2. I'm a jogger and I don't do 10 miles a week

of course, my doc suggests I not run every day... and I always take weekends off.

So I think 12 miles is awesome!

5. Thank you!

I admire runners so much. Even when I had two inner ears, I wasn't a very good runner.

7. I'm not a runner, I'm a jogger

and a slow one at that!

8. To me, jogging IS running

And I admire it. :toast:

3. that's awesome! I really

need to exercise. I'm so lazy. I just don't have a lot of energy most days. Hmmm maybe (I know), maybe if I exercise I'll get more energy.

:applause:

4. My energy level has gone up

And I am also sleeping much better. Some days it's a struggle to go (I try to go early in the morning before work) but once I'm there I'm glad.

Still have a LOT more work to do, though....
