Update: Alright, peeps, I think some of you have the wrong idea. I don't live for exercise. Believe me! I have to force myself to do it every time. And if Sara didn't come to my house at 7:30 am two days a week to run then I might not exercise at all. Because I'm lazy. And because I'd much rather read a book and eat chocolate cake. But, I do always, always, always (did I say that already?) feel so much better after I have done the exercise.
It's always so tricky to exercise for the first time in a couple of weeks. With all the sickness in my house the last little while, exercise hasn't happened. This morning I finally got to go for a walk/run. Just a 2-mile stint. It was difficult because I felt like my body was full of lead, but it felt great at the same time. Exercise is almost magical to me. I can be feeling depressed or angry or frustrated. I can have zero desire to do it other than the fact that I know I need to. When I exercise, all that goes away. It renews me. It refreshes me. It clears away the bad emotions. Exercise is like free therapy. Go get some today!

Good advice, doing something active almost always makes me feel better.
I wish I could say that I actually enjoy exercising... at least I always feel great when it's done. : )
Could you please send a little of that magic you mentioned over my way?? I never have experienced that but I am sure if I had I would love to run as much as you do!
You mean lifting and putting spoon to mouth is NOT an exercise!?! :)
Yeah not a big fan of exercising, but make myself do it because I feel GREAT afterwards! I have to admit that I LOVE to walk!
Can you be here at 7:30 tomorrow? I am so IMPRESSED with your dedication. Go get em tiger!
