It don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing. Me, I feel like I’m starting to get it. Maybe this time if there’s a bump in the road I’ll be able to stay on the wagon…
Today I upped it to 2 miles. My shins kind of hurt (I’ll stretch them out throughout the day today) but other than that it was a great workout. 22:02. Nice!

Wow. I had about the coolest jog today, ’cause my roommate and best friend, Mike, came with me. He’s been in “the Iraq” for four months and just came home yesterday. I always wondered if jogging with a buddy would be difficult, especially ’cause I didn’t know if anyone would want to do my intervals with me…. We did 1.4 miles, 2-1, and made 15:55.

Well, I hit the wrong button on my stopwatch this morning and now I have no idea how my time was for jogging this morning. It was my normal 1.4 mile, 2-1 interval jog, and it felt like I was going OK. Yet when I went to hit STOP, I hit LAP instead, and I can’t figure out how to make this damn watch bring-up Lap 1. Oh well…

Forgive me, it’s been seven days since my last exercise…
Actually, I changed the name from “Jogging Journal” to “Exercise Journal” because I was going to write in all the different exercise-related things I was doing. Even when it’s just walking around Animal Kingdom with my grandmother. Yet, alas, I haven’t been doing that. It’s not actually that I haven’t done any exercise, but I haven’t gotten up or come home from work, put on my jogging shorts, and started my interval timer…
Today I did 1.6 miles (I decided to up it, even though it was hard) and did my 2-1 intervals in 15:55, which isn’t horrible, really. The other day I saw a commercial for New Balance that kind of summed-up my jogging “program.” Their new campaign is love/hate. The commercial is all about each time you set out to go jogging you have this love/hate feeling about it. I’m totally there. The beginning is mostly hate, the end is mostly love. Do you think the ends justify the means?

Today was another 1.4 mile day, and I did 12:57. I specifically kept my jogging pace a little slower and tried (I guess unsuccessfully) to keep my walking pace fast. Yet yesterday was a little faster overall. Oh well, it’s not a race. (Inside my head I keep hearing, “it’s always a race, and you can win!”)
I’m still on my 2-1 intervals, and today I did a 0.4 mile “cool down” walk afterwards. Every time I get back to the house I always have to wait a bit to cool down, otherwise a shower is kind of pointless (’cause I’m still hot when the shower is over.) Well, the walking cool-down didn’t work today. It may have something to do with the fact that the temperature, which at 9:30 a.m. is already 77 degrees. Or it could just be that I got 22:07 of exercise…
