after being stuck in bed for 3.5 days (the other .5 was on the couch), i couldn´t wait to get outside and be active. this morning i woke up and took advantage of the 40 degree weather and sunshine and went for a jog. the first one in a loooong while.
you know how it feels to start jogging again after leaving it for a long time? you know, good in a way, but also like a gorilla is sitting on your chest and cotton balls in your throat? combine that with a runny nose, cold air, car exhaust from morning traffic, and billows of cigarette smoke. i wanted to be inside the gym down the street from my house, warm and cozy, jogging away on a tredmill with the latest issue of glamour magazine sitting in front of me.
i know that soon, jogging will be easy again, the weather will be warm, and my runny nose will disappear. i´ll get used the the morning traffic, too, but i can´t say i´ll ever get used to running through pockets of cigarette smoke.
