My heart is still shattered, but I am able to focus today (and wash my hair). I took a personal day from work to grieve and care for myself a bit. Unfortunately I woke up at 6am and was not able to get back to sleep. After an hour of laying in bed torturing myself with worries and sad thoughts, I got up. I emailed Jon and sobbed for an hour. Then I got off my butt and went jogging around my complex. I needed to expend energy on something other than crying and worrying. Some people say that jogging gives them time to think to clear their heads. For me it is a chance not to think. By the end of the first lap all I can think about is putting one foot in front of the other and breathing. I count my laps and keep track of my times... it is a great break from real life. Today I was able to jog a full 5k at what I believe to be a personal best time!

100 miles - 2 months!
In May, 2010 I decided to become a Jogger. I was doing it to lose the 8% of body fat that I need to in order to be considered "lean" and to jog my first 5k. In October, 2010 I met one of my goals and jogged my first 5k! In 2011, I jogged my 2nd 5k and my first ever 10k!! My goal for 2012 has switched from a focus on jogging to a focus on muscle building so that I can get closer to my 8% goal!
