I was going to blog today about my non jogging experience today but I came across an article about Michael Phelps and everyone looking the other way regarding his indiscretions. Well being a parent and a consumer, I am not looking the other way nor forgiving him. That is a bunch of nonsense and the people who are paying and supporting him should all speak up.  Not only does he look ridiculous as a drunk and drug addict but also as an Olympic gold medalist makes our country look like this type of behavior is acceptable. It is not acceptable yet we, as Americans, put up with it every single day from our athletes, politicians and actors. Our children look up to these people.  I can only hope and pray my children look up to someone who is worthy to be set as an example. Or at least someone not drinking and driving nor doing drugs.  I had read a quote, I don’t remember where, but it said “It takes a community to raise a child, I have seen the community and I don’t like it”.   Ok I am getting off my soap box.  

Ok I have a hard time saying that without laughing. I cannot jog to save my life. Literally I would tell a robber take my purse (and all the past due bills in there because you will find no cash) because I am not going to run. Well my significant other is jogging every day now and he is bugging me to go. So I finally agree as he keeps talking about all these eagles he keeps seeing. I know lame excuse but I like to see the eagles and wildlife for some reason this is relaxing to me. (And he knows this so there better be eagles). Anyway hopefully I will survive this jog today otherwise you will probably finding me laying on the jogging path trying to breathe. That is another problem I do not breathe correctly when I run.  There has to be some secret to breathing when you run that I just don’t know or haven’t gotten yet. My SO always tells me “you are not breathing correctly!!” Did I miss something?  I always thought it was air in and air out. Now there is a different way to breathe.   Well I am off to see the symbol of freedom or our country (Eagles) and hopefully not die of not being able to breathe correctly while running. Wish me luck or better yet say a prayer for me.
