Caveat: 21.6 km

I started keeping track of how much I’m running, exactly, starting last Friday.  So in one week, I ran 21.6 km.  My pace is kind of slow – but it’s all jogging, not walking.  If you add in my walking (commute to work six days a week and running errands – I walk everywhere), you could probably say I cover an equivalent distance in walking, too.  And that would make about 42 km, which is a marathon.  I was somewhat inspired in this project by following – on facebook – the manic walking exploits of two of my cousins, Jori and Trevor, who each covered something over 250 miles last month in a sort of competition between them, posting their distances each day.  I won’t get close to that.  Not yet, anyway.

I’m glad I’m exercising more.  I wish I could feel like it was improving my health, but so far I have lost no weight, and I don’t really even feel much healthier.  I will have to be patient.
What I’m listening to right now.

Bob Dylan with Johnny Cash – Girl from the North Country.   The song makes me think of fall in Minnesota, and camping trips to Hibbing and weekends in Duluth.
