So I'm feeling pretty out of shape these days. I fell off my "diet" a while back, and haven't been very successful at getting back on. However, my body has recently made it plain that I need to do this. Not only that, but I need to get some darned exercise.
So, I decided this morning that I was going to walk up the first switchback of the M trail. That was it. I figured that was an achievable goal and one that wouldn't leave me feeling overly sore and discouraged tomorrow.
Imagine my surprise when I got to the top of the first switchback and didn't feel all that bad. So I stretched my legs a bit and puttered on up to the top of the third before coming back down.
It's not much, I know. But it's something. It's a start. Now, I have to convince myself to do it at least one more time this week.
Wish me luck! :)
health,
exercise
