the jog, the walk and the mind

Thup..thup...thup...thup man I am jogging!!…haaiiiiiii poor me, I run out of breathe!
Cm'on I got be fair to myself. This is the first time I am doing unwanted physical exertion. I have generally been a lazy kinda guy, and to make me do something like this might require a kiss from a real beauty. So what could be the reasons for this morning mishappening in my life? Needless to say the reasons got to be really BIG.
1. People kept telling me to do so from a long time - it’s good for health, you gotta maintain and the rest of the crap, and it came to a point that I could not avoid.
2. My roommate who has put on weight beyond limits (I expect his comment now) thinks the same for me. God, how can someone keep imagining thinks just to please or rather console himself ;-)
3. Finally there are times I feel that I might have put on a little weight, so there is no harm doing the morning round of jog ;-)
4. Now factually speaking the weighing machine REALLY thinks that I am not the same person as I was a year ago.

So the jog has started. The frequency isn’t bad too – 3 times in 6 days. I am making it on alternate days just because I really don’t want to tone up myself overnight and make all the dudes and hunks uncomfortable around myself ;-). Now how does it go: It’s a brisk walk from my home to the pakka road, and there I go ruuuuuning, ‘am really good! Okie huuf huff..I take a walk, walk a little more and there again…run…run..run..stop quickly. Thats less, but okie I have just begun. Turn back to home. Walk time baby..walk, walk, walk…waaaaaaaalk. Hello! Mr. Rathi you were here to jog, oh ya! Run again. Seconds later - STOP. Waaaaaaaalk. Hmmm..had a good work out. Must have chicken today!!

Now why do I say this? Today while on the way back, I got lost dreaming something while jogging and after a long time realized that I had come a long way without stopping. How come!! Later on while climbing the stairs I realize that in almost all the prior cases whenever I stopped for the walk it was not as if my legs were calling, but the mind - which kept telling me that I have done enough. Just need to get lost at times to get the best out of myself. A beautiful morning indeed :-)

Passing thought:- Limit is in the mind, the sky is just an excuse.
