15 minutes of bliss...

Now, this is a PG rated blog so those that are overly sensual are not going get what you think you are....

Work has been difficult lately, being out of action with a false case of chicken pox, and other summer activities I haven't been exercising (or eating) the way I really want to.  Some activities make up for it, like surfing for 2 and half hours until my arms and legs are raw and nearly bleeding from rubbing against the board, but not fully.

This morning I woke up early, stretched (which hurts now that I'm over 40), did some ab and back exercises, and then went for a run.  I put my shuffle on under my shirt, started up a network security podcast, and began a slow jog through the early morning heat and humidity of southeastern VA. 

Bliss.

It just felt amazing.  Just 15 minutes, about a mile and a half.  I needed it.  I had been craving it for a while.  No aches or pains, just a slow comfortable jog sweating bullets early in the morning.  I won't say it is the best way to start the day...PG remember...but it certainly is a great way to start.

    Summer,
    I've spent a good bit of time dealing with some similar issues that you and CH are dealing with, but not to the extent you have. I can't imagine really how you both feel and deal with things day to day. You and your family are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. The two of you have a love and a resolve that is incredible given the circumstances. I know that things will work out eventually. If I could make some of the things that have happened go away I certainly would.
