Nug is learning to run. Really.

I'm training... at least that's what my friend Tab tells me.

I'm literally reading an article called "How To Go From Sedentary To Running".  I'm NOT sedentary, and I walk everywhere already, so I'm going to Step 2, which is 1-min running/2-min walking for 15 minutes. I already hate getting ready to go out, but once I'm out there I don't hate it as much.

I HATE cardio. It's the worst. I don't know why I don't like panting and sweating and heaving and impact on my body and all of that stuff other people seem to love. Yoga and lifting weights I can handle. But with garbage knees and ankles I can't take the constant hammering.

But I'm trying... really.  I went out 3 times this week and I'm going to do another week of Step 2 until it's no big deal. I bought running shoes for my flat feet and even got slip-on spikes for when it's icy.

...because I'm an idiot that decided to learn to run WHEN IT'S GETING COLD.
