I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV...

I don't even remember what it was a commercial for - but I remember that line!!!!  Hahahahaha!  I've always thought it was funny! ;)  so classic!

I was just thinking about that line because I'm not a jogger - but I jogged last night - and i THINK i'm planning on jogging today too.

did it hurt?  yeeeeeeeeeeees. why, yes it did.  Thank you for asking.

but it was a little bit of a good kind of hurt.  ha!

I went with my daughter and we just jogged off and on, off and on, until we couldn't anymore.  Then when we got back home, I got on the treadmill immediately and finished up with another mile.

so here was the plan, Stan.

Step 1. 
get on my treadmill, do a nice slow mile to kinda bring me back into the land of the pain-free.

Step 2.
get off treadmill, after returning my heart to a nice reasonable pace.


And I followed that plan perfectly!  Except for step 1 and step 2.

This is what actually happened.  I got back home, and my treadmill said

"so.... you jog now, huh?"

yeah i guess.

"Ok. so jog, jogger."

Pfffffft! Alright, I will.

(such a snarky, snarky treadmill.  I would normally buy a treadmill WITHOUT the snarky attitude.  But this was a gift.  So.)

I put on some music, and before I knew it I was jogging for a half mile.  (take that, Tready.  and also take my sweat dripping profusely all over you.   and don't complain - cuz you're the one that taunted me into becoming Jogmaster.  Mess with the bull, get the horns.)

1/2 mile of straight jogging.  Apparently - this - is my current limit.  So, I'm not a jogger.  But I imagine myself to be!

I know there's a "runner's high" - I know this in theory of course.  Because if you've been following..... i normally move at the break-neck speed of a walk.

Jogging? sure, i tried it.  Running? Um, not unless there was a pscyho killer behind me.   or one of those camel spiders running into my shadow!!  HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE THINGS?!?!  All i wanna know is - what nightmare were they taken from?!?!  A giant cat-sized spider that runs after you because they want to be in the cool of your shadow?!?!?!  stop it right now!!!!  Yeah if i lived where those things roam - i'd be a runner for sure.

but I digress. I wanna know if there's a "jogger's high" - cuz if there is??

Dude.  I'm going for it.
