I can do it...

I'm considering signing up to do the Jingle Bell 5K run in December. I currently jog about 2.5 miles (about 4K) fairly regularly on the treadmill, so I figure I should be able to work my way up to 5K with moderate hills by December. I am also hoping that this will be the motivation I need to actually exercise once classes start up again, since I

"Meniscus"

[lil_termagant]

I will jog with you in spirit!

But not in actuality, because a) I live in another state and b) my doctor thinks that I tore the meniscus in my knee, so I'm actually pretty fucked up in the whole walking department.

Still, meniscus is a fun word. I've been saying it all day. "Meniscus."

I've been meaning to post how cool I think your jam-making posts are, but I keep forgetting, so here it is: You jam making posts are cool! JAAAAAM!

Ouch! I have never heard of a meniscus before, but that sounds painful. (And it is an excellent word.) How did you do it?

The jam is tasty, at least in my opinion. (Geekpdx thinks it isn't sweet enough.) It's all sitting in a room in our basement, and we'll dust it off and decorate it many months from now.

I'm just managing to do a mile so it sounds like you are far ahead of me. Good luck! Maybe we can run together sometime when I manage to get up to two?

Yay! I went jogging in Tryon Creek today and was forcefully reminded that jogging in the real world, with hills and where the ground does not force you to maintain a nice, steady pace is harder than a treadmill. I managed 2.5 miles, but I had to stop and walk a couple of times.

Also I suspect you run much faster than me. I am SLOW. Oh well! So yeah, running together some time would be good.

Well I was running with V for a little while... Now that is SLOW :)
