A first since forever

After work, I stopped at the sports store to check out interval timers. The store didn't have any and my stress fracture is twinging, so I decided to refrain from buying one for now. Once at home, I got ready and headed out the door to jog. I warmed up by walking up the long school drive, about 5 minutes worth and then began to jog. "I'll jog to the orange cone... Okay, I'm at the cone, now I'll jog to the baseball field." Got to the baseball field and thought I'd jog to my friend's backyard. I reached my goal and thought, "why not, jog home." So for the first time since 8th grade, I jogged 1/2 mile or 10 minutes or so. Happy with a sense of accomplishment.

My boss understood the need to see my son, and cleared the way for me to take a small vacation. I bought the bus tickets, so early next month, I head to Chicago.

Zumba at the rec center tonight! So much fun! On Thanksgiving Day, my teacher is leading a zumba class. Cost of entry is a personal care item for a local shelter.
