Below is my Facebook post the day after I began jogging:
"I'm trying this new fad called uh, jogging. I believe it's jogging or yogging. it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but you just run for an extended period of time. It's wild."Hilarious stuff. That got me 12 likes so you know it had to be good. Anyways, during my finals week this past semester, I had a revelation. I decided that I had to do something to make me a better person, something that would allow me to gain at least one shred of self confidence and something that would give me a goal to work towards.

What I
decided to do was exercise. It's something that I've always wanted to do
more of, but I was embarrassed to begin in front of prying eyes at the gym at
school, so I figured that this summer would be as good a time as ever to start.
The day after I came home, I began going for a 15 minute or so run every
morning after I got out of bed, and a few days later I began lifting weights
and regularly did other light exercises such as push ups and sit ups.
Today, I believe, would be my 34th consecutive run, a feat I'm quite
proud of.
I also
got a haircut, which I am starting to believe was one of the best decisions
I've made in quite some time.
