jog

My female owner acted on her conscience and went for a short jog (around 20mins) around her estate yesterday. I said acted on her conscience for a few reasons. Firstly, this was the same afternoon when she finished up all the pineapple tarts that Onli Fren gave her as a farewell gift. Secondly, she had not exercised for possibly about 2 months. Thirdly, the day before she left Singapore, Best Fern volunteered to drive her around as she rushed to complete her last minute errands, one of which involved buying a new pair of sports shoes (under much time pressure – he strategically placed lunch after shoe shopping so she had to hurry up and make a decision about her shoes or else she would starve). So she felt that she better start her exercise regime so that Best Fern’s efforts won’t go down the drain.

As a result of the jog, she found out, quite happily, that the closest shops were an easy 7mins walk away (think “quick access to food”). She also realised that there was no nice scenery around her area – just houses and roads… on slopes and gradients. This made her miss even more, the times she jogged around school with Jogging Kakis. My female owner reckons she never really lost weight through those jogs. Rather, those jogs (and fellowship) helped to alleviate her inner pressures and of course, give her false hopes that she is probably going to lose some unwanted weight. Finally, she figured that 20mins of jogging is really not too difficult after all and she might do more short runs in future.
