The sky was so beautiful today, I just had to take a picture of it  

This was around 3pm, allegedly it was 11oC out, but I suspect it was warmer.  Ever since I've given up the dreaded institutional confinement of employment I have been like a prisoner released, looking up at the sky regularly, throwing my arms open to the world and smiling.

Today clocked in 40 minutes of intermittent running.  Ever since starting the regular running experience, I have used more band aids than in my whole life combined before that.  Its the only way to  prevent blisters.  I don't know why, well, I do - my feet are so delicate - but if I don't put them on my toes I end up suffering.

This isn't the blog of one of those triumphantly enthusiastic runners.  I am at the stage of running for 200 paces and then walking then running for 200 paces and so on.  You have to start somewhere, and this is where I'm starting.  Kelly Killoren Bensimon says - take 20 minutes a day and be playful. Actually she suggests a 20 minute jog a day to stay in shape.

At this stage, three times a week is what I'm aiming for.  Three times a week to just enjoy the sky, the air and the neighbourhood - what a joy!
