on the subject of firsts

An addendum:

Yesterday, for the first time in my entire life (including those terrifying President's fitness tests in grade school when we were supposed to run a mile-- I was always last because I walked a significant part of the way) I jogged for 20 minutes. Without stopping. Not even for a second.

I can walk extremely quickly, ride an exercise bicycle, or use an elliptical machine for an hour without stopping, but until yesterday I had never been able to fight my way through the impact and exhertion necessary to actually jog for more than about 7 minutes, max.

I think that I might be possessed.
