I'm an old fat man

Today Dixie kicked me out of the bed at 6:15 and made me go run. Not really...Well sort of...

I really want to start getting some exercise, and she helped motivate me to get out there and run. She is starting to run too, so we'll both be in better shape soon.

A few things I discovered during this morning's mile and a half run:
1. Mississippi is fairly humid.
2. Jack Johnson's "Good People"'s 88ish beats per minute is just slightly too fast for me to run with the beat.
3. Mississippi is very humid.
4. My body remembers how to run. I was proud to make the mile and a half in less than 12 minutes.
5. Running brings back a lot of memories of when I was in the USAF. Good times and bad. I hated running the flight line at Goodfellow AFB against 30 mph winds. Running along the beach in Monterey, CA was pretty nice though.
6. Jack Johnson's "Bubble Toes" has a tempo change that was just right for the home stretch sprint of .2M.
7. Mississippi is ridiculously humid.

This weekend Dixie and I are going to the Ignite Church Leader Conference at Pinelake Church. We're looking forward to it. I'll let you know how it goes.
