The good news is that I do get a lot of exercise, specifically biking and swimming. It's now relatively easy for me to do 6 laps without a long break, when it was only 3 when I got back into swimming, a year or so before the pandemic. And I can pretty easily bike across the city now.
But it has been years and years since I have done regular jogging, and I am not sure I ever was much of a runner per se. I usually end up with heel and/or knee problems when I try to jog. Anyway, I decided to give it another go, as I am trying to mix up my exercise routine a bit more and get rid of the next 15-20 pounds I am trying to lose.
I had about an hour window to fit in some jogging tonight, but it wasn't pretty. I basically could only manage a block or two, followed by a block of walking, then back to the jogging. I made it up to Danforth, stopping in at the grocery store up there for some black beans, and then (intermittently) jogged back home. It is downhill the whole way, so it was a bit easier. I guess there is no point in getting too down on myself. I will just see if jogging a bit more each week eventually gets a bit easier. Either that, or my knee gets blown out again, and I just give up...
