yesterday, i was finally able to get some exercise – after three long years! hubby invited me to go jogging with him after lunch at the nearby park. i jumped at the chance. of course, he also enticed me with the prospect of fishballs and gulaman afterwards, so i wasn’t really 100% after the exercise. haha..
it really hit home how much i’ve changed physically. in my pre-franco days, i could have jogged 4 or 5 rounds straight. yesterday, i barely made it to three rounds – in easy half-brisk walking, half-jogging stages, to boot!
another thing to be bummed about: that my stamina is so far below what it used to be. i think if i tried playing badminton it’d be the same story. i used to be able to play for an hour or two of fast-paced badminton, without much feeling the strain. now, i don’t think i’d last 15 minutes. boo!!
still, i’m stoked that at least i’ve made a start. even though i woke up this morning feeling like i ran 10k, with my calves protesting from apparent abuse, i’m glad that i made the effort. hopefully this is the start of me getting fab and fit once again. sana lang wag akong tamarin.. haha!
badminton, anyone?
