Jogalicous

I went for a jog today. 4.5 miles in 1 1/2 hours. I can't do a really fast jog right now because my knee is a little hurt but a slow jog with my knee brace is great. It was so much fun and it felt really really good. No pain, no soreness, no getting halfway out there and then feeling dead. It was awesome.

I am going to ride with Matt to work tomorrow and jog home. That will be a 6 mile jog on the bike trail. I will be taking my pepper spray with me so no worries.

Even though Fresno is not where I picture myself living for the rest of my life, where we live in Fresno is pretty awesome. I love that I can see the mountains (when the air is clear), that I can smell manure from CSU, Fresno on some days/nights, and that I can take a 4.5 mile jog around the ag from the college, through the college and back up by the livestock. I would love to live in the country but this may be the next best thing until that happens. All of this plus we are super central to everything we need.

When I moved here, I lost my comfort zone that kept me working out and motivated. I think I have finally found it again. I think I have discovered that my muscles are still there too. Yes it takes time to find your way, to get on track, but it is so worth it when you do. This 5 Ton Weight Loss Challenge has been the best thing ever in helping find myself again and start feeling good about myself.

Now I'm off to eat my lunch! Romaine with chicken (aka chicken salad but I didn't want anyone to think I meant the mayonnaise type) and honey mustard dressing. YUMMY!!!!
