Finding My Stride

I set out today for my three mile jog uncafinated and unmotivated. I chugged along slowly and somewhat lethargically, and was fairly certain I wasn't going to make this jog without several walking breaks. And right as I felt I wanted to give up and walk pretty much the rest of the way, I listened to my rhythm.

My feet made a steady base bump, my running jacket made a complimentary swoosh-swoosh, and my breathing kind of made a nice overlay of a melody. I listened for a little bit, as my Zune rapidly searched for the next song on my playlist.

Then a huge pollution creating truck rolled by and dirtied my air. I could taste the exhaust fumes. I stopped, spit, and walked.

I did my best to just chug along till I got home (only took one more walking break!). Walked in the house and checked the time. Double take! I was only out for 44 minutes? That means a less than fifteen minute mile!

Total distance: 3.45 miles
Total time: 44 minutes

You do the math :D
