Every year, I try and learn something new. A few years ago, I learned to swim! I am still terrified of deep water, but I am actually a pretty good swimmer now after taking lessons and overcoming my fear of swimming.
This year, I have decided that I would like to try to learn to jog! Now bear in mind that I haven't jogged before in my 38 years on this planet, so this is no easy task! I also have asthma and I am really unfit due to gaining weight from my thyroid disease, but enough of my excuses lol
The Hubster used to be an exceptional runner, he actually competed and did very well in his younger days. So he has been assigned the role of 'jogging coach'.
I started off on our daily walk with the dogs on the football (Soccer) field. I warmed up by walking half way around the field, stretched and then jogged along one edge of the field. I then speed walked back up the same side. I managed this a couple of times before my legs felt like they were going to snap!
I was a bit gutted at the amount of times I was able to do the jog, but I guess I have made a start.
I am going to keep a record of my progress here on Steemit to keep me accountable for my efforts, but also to share my successes and hopefully give others the confidence to try something new too!
Our bodies are amazing vessels and we can push them further than we think, even when you have health issues holding you back. You may just need to adapt slightly to achieve the same results as others. OH, and don't forget to invest in some good running shoes! :)
