Back In The Saddle Again!

It's been a while since I updated the blog. Literally, I was flat footed as the holidays came and I stopped all the progress that I had made. Like many other ambitious exercisers I started the first week of January and have decided to take a different tact. I am trying to jog two or three days a week with a walking day in between. I warm up with a half mile "vuelta" around Ryan elementary and then run for as long as a great 16 minute Dave Matthews Band song. I started out only being able to jog 1 mile and two blocks. I am now at 1 mile and 7 blocks, a steady improvement for the last three weeks. More about this later. Just feels good to write here again and make myself accountable for my health. Good pal Richard Gentry reminded me that he would be waiting for me to trot the Mercurio Martinez III memorial 5K. I won't let him down.
