Went for a Walk/Run Today

Went to test out my new ankle today. Seems to work alright. A little achy, but nothing horrible. I was out for about 1 hour.
I stuck to the actual river pathway, and remained on even and flat ground.
I am pleased to report that I am not as out of shape as I thought I would be. My legs burned, and my heart raced, and for a second, I had that uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, where I thought I might puke. The puking feeling quickly went away though… It was just a sign that I was pushing my body a bit too hard.
The run actually kick-started an pretty productive day for me.
Although I did not apply to any jobs, I managed to fold the laundry, wash and fold another load of laundry, I weeded and tended the hedges for about 2 hours, I finished sewing my tea towel… Three more to go. Put stuff away, and in general felt like a superstar today. Whoopee for me!
I hope I can keep this up so that I might shed a few inches and a few pounds. It would be lovely to fit into my old clothes again… Not to mention, it would be a huge boost to my self esteem.
