Must Remind Myself

So I'm sitting here with a towel on my head after a nice hot shower reminding myself that jogging is good for my body. It will make me healthier and feel more awake and increase my stamina and all that, but it's very hard to enjoy it when my stomach hurts like crazy and instead of my surgery knee hurting...it's my calf muscle that is crying out! My whole body feels exhausted, but this pain is not going to stop me from jogging every day! I never liked jogging, I always thought it was boring and that running while playing sports was way more fun. Due to my bad knee, playing sports is not an option right now, so jogging is all I have...and I am going to appreciate it because just being able to walk is a blessing! I took things like walking for granted before I had surgery. I learned (while recovering) that things like being able to get off my bed in 2 seconds is something that I should appreciate being able to do because during the weeks after surgery it was a 15 minute painful process of getting off my bed, (with help from my family members. thank you so much!) grabbing my crutches, and hobbling just to go to the bathroom, which is about 15-20 steps away from my room. Now that I can walk and have gotten the OK from the knee doc that I can run again, no more am I going to say in my mind "hmmmm...I don't feel like jogging today" and then put it off until it's too late.
