So I started running this week (I haven't done any exercise since mandatory PE classes more than a decade ago. I like walking and hiking but that's not really cardio. I used to have a bike too but I can't remember the last time I rode it).
The first time was just to see what I can expect, really I walked half of it, I was just happy I got my ass out of the house. I decided to do it every other day, so I won't get sick of it instantly.
I was so happy with how well I did on my second time, since I put in a minimal effort at least and tried not to walk as much, and now it's been difficult and hard the whole way! I did go a little further this time (just to have something to show for it, only a few hundred meters really) and then almost the whole way back I had a stitch in my side!
I think it's unfair that progress and advancement don't just come to me easy, I deserve to have a smooth time. Also it is 15 Celsius today which is actually scary for January. We are so cooked (as in, the globe).
