A Daily Run

Inspired by a biography of General Petraeus, I've decided to do a short run every morning. I hear the jeering laughter of my readers. But wait. How hard is it to get up 1/2 earlier each day and do a quick jog around the neighborhood? I did it this morning. I feel great. Just a little bit of exercise helps to relieve tension that builds up. I get sore sitting in a chair most of the day and find myself needing to get up and stretch a lot. I do real exercise 3 days a week - bball or soccer or a real run - but I like the idea of getting in the habit of doing a quick jog every morning.

Granted, Petraeus does 5 miles, but he's a higher achiever than myself.
