06/03/11 Ramblings of a whinner

I made a commitment to myself on May 31st that in the month of June I would exercise my butt off, literally.  So far I am doing great.  I still can't breathe well enough to run much but I can walk/run, which works.  Yesterday was a long one, with 6.61 miles which burned 1006 treadmill calories.  With my breathing I have to work so much harder but I am getting it done.  The only one I know for sure that reads my blog on a stready basis is Carolyn but I use it so I can go back and check my progress and my attitude.  My commitment to myself was to exercise (do something) at least 6 days every week this month.  I have been letting my limitations get in the way to much.  I have always worked around those limitations all my life.  When I start to give in and believe that I can't do this anymore I start questioning things.  I question why I keep putting my body thru all this exercise, especially when I look in the mirror, and I am discussed with the way I look.  I just get down in the dumps when I have these allergies like this.  Today the Jetta was covered with a layer of yellow pollen so I know it is not my imagination.  I'll get over this and be that much better off because I still worked out during a bad spell instead of just laying around and feeling sorry for myself
