Jogging and Jobbing

The issue has been raised as to Kane and my dedication to, and the possibility of fraudulent claims of us being joggers. History has delicately placed me into a long and traceable lineage of innate, adamant non-joggers. Some postulate that the name "Sommer" is derived from the Latin sumarius, which is an adjective form of the word "molasses". And like molasses, a Sommer only happily moves slowly, and really would prefer to stay put altogether whenever possible. I believe my great, great, great uncle, William Sommer, has been quoted to say, "Take away my freedom, my dignity, my country, but do not ever try to force me to jog".

However, with the intention of continuing to fit into my overpriced, fancy work suits, in addition to balancing out my love of Nutella (and anything chocolate for that matter), I have begun an extremely rudimentary and considerably pathetic workout regiment. We looked into joining the gym here, but were swiftly deterred by the $40 per two weeks fee - the only thing I hate more than being out of shape is being out of money. So, we were left to our own devices and decided to start the doing the cheapest workout around: jogging.

We started by just jogging down the street and back, walking when I start to overheat. We're up to around 1.5-2 miles each morning of pathetic, trudging, huffing and puffing jogging. Sometimes Kane eases into a fast walk next to me just to show how exceptionally slow we are actually moving. But, I keep to it, slow and steady - there's something a Sommer can relate to. We can win the race, just as long as you're easily distracted...

So that's the skinny on the jogging. Or perhaps the "average sized" on the jogging, as it were. To answer cousin questions: I do dislike exercising, but am embracing it as a necessary evil, like politics or nylons. To report my findings, my suit pants do still fit well, which I know because I have recently gone on two job interviews in said pants. I will say no more about it because the jury's still out and I wouldn't want to post all sorts of stuff on the internet since sometimes companies do a quick google search on you nowadays. Just know that all is well and that a follow up will commence next week. (Email me if you're too curious)
