I couldn't agree more with this post, there is nothing better than having a good jog at any part of the day. I find that it completely revitalizes me and actually gives me more energy. I have also found a big difference in my endurance levels and my ability to lift weights in the gym. In my opinion it's just something that nobody should go without.

I haven't been able to run in a long time due to a foot injury. I've been weary of getting out there again because I didn't want to injure myself again.

Yesterday, I was out for a walk with my 4 year old son. After a minute of walking, he looked up at me and said "come on, Daddy, wun!" and started a silly jog that he does. I figured that I'd risk it and I jogged to keep up with him.

Before I knew it, he was trying to keep up with me. We encouraged each other through our short little jog together. He got me moving again and, when he said that he didn't think he could keep going, I encouraged him.

It wasn't a long jog and I got winded fairly quickly, but wow. Not only was it great to be moving again, but it was great to see my son moving with me. I think I found a new motivation to get out there. And this morning, I don't have any reoccurence of the injury.

P.S. - When we got back home, we were talking about our jog together. He said that he wants to go to "jog school". Very cool.
