Run Blogging

You Tube doesn't seem to let me see and hear what I want, so you'll just have to go there yourself (SFW - it's just the Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare).

Spurred forth by tithenai  's continued awesomeness in re  exercisin' and readingthedark  's missive last night detailing his 5K run, I did the same!  And it was glorious!  So much better in every way than all the other runs since seyeh  convinced me to get back up.  Makes me feel a lot less like I lost it all over my two months on my ass.  Also, I think the mowing and the biking are really helping in ways that running alone did not. 

Soon, I will have my standing desk.  Once I get that, I think it's time for another shot at cutting out soda, and, you know, holding off the big one a little while longer*.

*Turns out I have *all* the old wives signals for early death from CVD - barrel chest, "Frank's Sign,"  early baldness, early graying, as well as being, you know, obese, in a sedentary job, mildly hypertensive, having hypothyroidism, panic disorder, family history of CVD and diabetes (though free and clear on that so far - sweet potatoes and exercise FTW).  I'm one pack a day from having the WHOLE SET of risk factors.  Well, I have good cholesterol, so I guess that helps.  And all but one of my original teeth.
