Jog for Who?

Recently, I am quite energetic for jogging.

One month ago, I was still someone who claim that jogging lead to knee injuries.

And jogging was like a exercise to hell where you get tired like going to die.

I admit that those are just some excuses I gave based on past experience.

>>Fear<<

So, why did I suddenly changed my perception?

I came across to some of my friends who ask me why did I jog so frequent?

Is it jogging for who?

...............................................................................................................................

It was on a night where I was stalking people on facebook as usual.

I realised that I lived my life like an old person when most of the youngster outside were busy joining different extreme activities.

Here am I sitting on a chair in front of the laptop with 2 legs and 2 hands.

Physically perfect human but I was wasting my age doing nothing.

So, I set a goal.

(*A goal to reveal after I achieved it.*)

I actually set a goal which was kinda impossible for me to achieve with the current me.

Setting goal doesn't need energy at all, just a couple of minutes.

After that, I was thinking to start the jog in the next morning.

When I was still struggling on should I or not, I chatted up one of my friend who had been active in slimming down for months.

I told him the big goal of mine and he decided for me to start on the next morning.

At the same time, I chatted another fitness first friend.

He mentioned: 'Jogging is the best exercise to slim down.

Slimming down wasn't my goal and I told him the real goal.

Then he get serious by explaining the feeling of jog and so on.

...............................................................................................................................

The next morning, I woke up as early as 7.30am.

I started with a very short distance jog.

Don't expect me as a beginner to run that far, I get exhausted easily.

And the next day, I tried in the evening.

Ran different route this time and longer distance.

(*the reason for choosing different and quieter route is because I am sensitive to how others look at me and will they think I am lame for not able to jog far. I cared too much.)

So, from that two days onwards, I used to jog.

I try for 2-3 times jog every weeks.

Although the distance of jog not really much improved, at least I started.

And now I am no longer afraid of how people look at me because I jog without spectacles.

I don't even know who the hell pass by me or I believe no one would look at me.

My leg addicted to wear the shoes and I feel something is missing if I stop for few days.

>>>Addicted<<<

Am I jogging for who?

Myself

...to achieve the big and seems so far goal.

(*special thanks for the two who persuaded me in the start.*)

The whole process was like Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

I succeed in reformat myself from jogging to yes, let's jog.
