Me…jog??? Pffffft… If you see me running, you better run too cuz there’s something chasing me.
I do not plan to do anything in 2013 so outrageous. I did
run once in Moron, Spain. It was during their local feria, and they had three
or four bulls running in the street, along with some crazy people like me. I
almost bought it, as one bull had me in a corner. But, it wasn’t my day, and he
was distracted at the last moment. I limited my running after that to my annual
fitness test.
Unless one wants to free-float, you have to have some
targets, goals, or, what the heck, resolutions to guide you. So, I have come up
with 13 for 2013. The intended consequences are to be a better person, and help
others at the same time. Wish me luck.
