jackToday I (cycled to work AND) jogged for 16 minutes continually, up from 1 minute a few months ago. I feel really good, but trying to restrain the impatience to get up to 20min and 30min, when I feel I could say I could jog without stretching the truth.
I didn't bring my headphones, so the main challenge was staying distracted enough to ignore the good-muscle-pain, although by the end I was starting to feel I was running up against my cardio limit and my tendon-risk-limit.
Although, while I'm getting used to going to the gym, I still keep feeling like an interloper -- maybe this is for people fitter or thinner or richer or posher or more confident or better than me. I don't think that's true; I have every reason to go to a gym (or exercise in another way, whichever I prefer). But I still keep having to squash my hindbrain down.
