I had really gotten accustomed to thinking of it as nothing more than a large, plush cushion. Now, it's quite mad at me because it kinda burns and aches.
Let me back track a little bit.
I promised that I would start jogging this week, and I just kept that promise. I went on my usual, roughly 1-mile loop around the neighborhood 3 times. I alternated between walking and jogging — walk half about 1/2 mile, then jog about 1/2 mile. The jogging I delegated to the section of my route that goes through a park behind some houses and is less frequently traveled, as I knew I would make a sad spectacle of myself. My dogs mercifully didn't drag me along too much. I think they felt sorry for me, and I gladly took their pity. I had to really push myself to go that short distance, but I did it.
Now, the muscles in my legs (and butt) are tired. I'm sure they will complain even more tomorrow. I think I will give them an nice, long soak in the bath tonight in an attempt to make it up to them.
Hubby will be home from tennis soon, and then I will make us a nice dinner. In the mean time, I'm just going to relax.
Tonight's dinner: bison steaks and not-so-cheesy mac 'n' cheese.
Why bison? It has less fat than beef, and I was curious to try it. The plan is to grill it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Have a great night, and thanks for your comments and support!
