I started keeping track of how much I'm running, exactly, starting last Friday. So in one week, I ran 21.6 km. My pace is kind of slow - but it's all jogging, not walking. If you add in my walking (commute to work six days a week and running errands - I walk everywhere), you could probably say I cover an equivalent distance in walking, too. And that would make about 42 km, which is a marathon. I was somewhat inspired in this project by following - on facebook - the manic walking exploits of two of my cousins, Jori and Trevor, who each covered something over 250 miles last month in a sort of competition between them, posting their distances each day. I won't get close to that. Not yet, anyway.
I'm glad I'm exercising more. I wish I could feel like it was improving my health, but so far I have lost no weight, and I don't really even feel much healthier. I will have to be patient.
What I'm listening to right now.

Bob Dylan with Johnny Cash - Girl from the North Country. The song makes me think of fall in Minnesota, and camping trips to Hibbing and weekends in Duluth.
