... and exercise

[bewize]

That is the name of the tag that I have for discussing things like exercise. I'm brilliant to figure out something so clever, I know, but for me it has always been an afterthought.

Diet. ... and exercise.

I've never been a kid overly fond of exercising and turning into an adult did little to help me out there. I used to get at least some educationally foisted upon me exercise, and then I would feel guilty enough in law school to make use of the free gym, but...

I'm really bad at it.

I wish I weren't, though. I know that I need to do more of it and I know that a lot of the problems I have would ease up if I were exercising more (insomnia, stress, weight, even the asthma).

It's just so hard and whiny.

Anyway, I've joined the runners and I think I may wander over there and see about sparking some interest. In me, I mean. Everyone else seems to have the hang of it.

I'm going out of town in a week-ish and when I get back, I am going to commit to doing the Couch to 5K program. I'm also going to look for a mini-nano-triatholon to work for.

... I just need the asthma to stay controlled enough to let me do this. (And the story of adult onset chronic asthma is a story for another day.)

Did you make it on your walk?

I may do an unofficial challenge for the summer, just to try and motivate myself. Having other people do things with me always proves motivating!

Yes, I did walk! I don't think it was much more than 10 minutes, but it's something, and it's not like I don't enjoy it. :-)

Your challenge sounds like a good concept.
