Today, I went out for jogging again!! although it was quite an effort to drag myself out of coziness of my bed. But still i did it.. went to the park after dropping my mom to her school. She is a teacher.
The moment i stepped into tha gate of the park i realized that the temperature has suddenly fallen by a few degrees for sure. I adjusted all my necklaces and shoved them inside my shirt. They have a nasty habit of making their presence felt while i am in full swing jogging.
Today I turned on my GPS on my cellphone and started the trip meter to find out the distance i would jog. as usual I selected a starting point and started jogging. The shoes held good. so far the patch work done my Doc Mochi seems to work fine. first few minutes were quite tiring and i felt lot of muscles getting pulled in the length and breath of my leg and even my breath and heart beat seemed above normal.. but i was like “beta.. today is mah jogging day so pull up and go on…” and i went on.. fortunately those initial pains started disappearing after a few more minutes of jogging and i found myself moving into a more natural pace in rhythm with my body.
1.6 KM was the trip reading on my GPS when i thought of taking a small break. I wanted to give some rest to my body that was not too accustomed to running like that.. I walked a few minutes and then again that feeling of “beta… go go go” and i started once again… ran for around .8 km when i stopped for a few minutes to adjust my headphones.. Did another round of 1.6 Km lap before stopping…
I am trying to jog on the kutchcha “muddy” path so as to avoid any repetitive stress related injury to any of my joints and bones and I can very well see the difference when I have to jog for a few seconds on a hard pavement.
Besides that I feel surprised that there are elderly ppl who are in the habit of walking in series and blocking the whole way such that no fellow person can pass or overtake them. Most of the time, I find myself stepping off of the path to accomodate these guys. which doesn’t make sense. I have as much right to the path as they have and since they are the one who are walking in group and blocking way they should at least stagger their walk and give way. I dunno where this common courtesy of giving way to a fellow jogger disappeared????
