Half Mile Today

This morning I got up around 5:30 and went for a walk/jog around our block. Afterwards I measure it at exactly 1/2 mile, surprisingly longer than I expected. It wasn't too bad although I was concerned about my knees the whole way.

I jogged (very carefully) for about 100 yards and found myself VERY WINDED. So I walked the next 100 yards. Then I jogged again for about 100 yards and it wasn't so bad. Then I walked for probably 200 yards. By this point I wasn't even winded anymore. I did a jog/walk combination twice for the remaining portion of the block, even jogging uphill for a short while. I seemed to get stronger as time went on. My knees aren't as bad as I expected.

All in all I did much better than I expected and am surprised. It should be interesting how tomorrow goes. Exercising one day is relatively simple. Its the ongoing effort that usually culls out the weak from the strong. Which will I be?
