Day 150: Same Ole' Same Ole'

I got to admit this is hard.  Not the exercise, as a matter of fact, that is the easy part.  Blogging is the hard part.  I know some of my entries have been boring, heck I was bored writing them.  Trying to conceive of and jot down a daily topic takes more time than I thought it would.  No, I am not going to stop writing my blog and I am not going to stop exercising, that is not the point I am trying to make. 

Take today for example.  At 150 days in I am a little more than a month away of being half way through my year.  You would think that I would have a great topic to discuss or at least something other than just the facts.  The truth is, I am just like you, I am busy as can be and some days barely squeeze out the time I need to get some physical activity in.

Today, after work, I had multiple things that had to be taken care of and I didn’t get home until a little after 6pm.  I had to cook dinner, take care of the dogs, wash clothes, and get my exercise in.  I am not complaining, rather I wanted to show that just like you everyday there are multiple things that get in my way.

Today decided to take a long jog.  After all is said and done I needed to just get out and pound the pavement.  It is relaxing settling into a rhythm and just jogging.  I completed close to 2 and a half miles in 40 minutes, not a fast pace, but a comfortable one. 

When I was done I lit the grill and threw some boneless ribs on to slow cook while I showered. The ribs were for lunch the next day.  After I showered I grilled a T-Bone, not my favorite cut of meat,  but it was on sale. 

I loaded and re-loaded the washing machine and dryer and put away clothes all before crawling in bed around 9:00ish. 

My days are not exciting, they are just like yours.  I am finding time to carve out some exercise and so can you. 

Daily Recap:
Matt:  40 minute jog
