Time to give myself a litle credit. I've turned a bit of a corner with my 'personal fitness'. I should make clear before I proceed that I have little interest in the body beautiful it's purely to keep this machine maintained to a minimum....it's getting a little creaky as it gets on. Anyways, I've been on a graduated jogging program and today I ended a big phase - 1 minute walk and 14 minutes jogging repeated 3 times with 5 minutes warm-up either side. Next session we move to 3 minutes walk with 17 minutes jogging repeated three times. A few months ago I'd never thought this meaty carriage could propel itself for almost an hour let alone maintain a jog for 42 minutes. But here we are. Only a few more weeks until I'm jogging for a continuous 60 minutes. Oh boy....
Credit goes to a great author I very much respect, Haruki Murakami, whose book "What I talk about when I talk about running" inspired me to get started in the first place.
Anyway here's me 2 minutes post cool-down gazing down a part of the trial mowed around the property.

Congrats, Mark. I know how hard it is to polish off the rust of a neglected machine. The rush when you succeed at goals you set in life is totally worth it. Well done, mate!

Got out this morning with my wife for a chilly but fun walk.. -5F at 7AM. Great light. I'm surprised I actually caught the focus on the thistle bush, I was falling over when I took the shot. Bike trail bridge in the background. ;-)

Something about this image, that I really, really like. Can't quite put my finger on why but I think it has to do with the feeling of nostalgia - maybe of the memories of what that figure meant to a young child? Either way, thanks for sharing.

Got it in one, Mark. I've had this since about 1970 and could never part with it.
