the good news is that you've still managed to reproduce the idiosyncratic parallels our lives take, and that everything you've just said about yourself and jogging can easily be applied to me... and jogging. only i'm good at it. as soon as you figure out that you can go really far for a long time if you go really slow, there's no limit to how far and long you can go. i used to go for 4 hr 20 km runs, that were essentially minimized jogs. it's really awesome.
the bad news is that it doesn't teach you any life lessons about working dilligently and slowly, and that even though i've mastered the jog, i'm still a lazy lastminuter.
You know, I really like reading your updates on your jog progress. Inspirational to say the least. 30 seconds, a minute, then 30 seconds. When you break it down like that, it seems so much less intimidating. I think that's true with most big problems in life too. Although as you can see, jogging causes the mind to wander, and I'm already too neurotic. :P
BTW, do you keep track of your heart rate at all? People tell me I should get a heart monitor, but I see no reason to splurge on fancy equipment unless it's really helpful.
The watch I use has a heart rate attachment, but I don't use it. I don't know if I want to know what my heart rate gets up to sometimes :) Just keeping up some form of jog for a set time is enough for me.
Sounds good. :D I'm at a point where anything more than getting up from my chair to get more hot water for my tea is exercise. I try to jog every other day, but it usually ends up being once a week. I think when I don't have all the attachments, it's less serious for me, and I can just move around and not have to worry about if I'm doing it right.
