Jogging

As I finally need to do something about the hideous growing cancer that is my belly, I have started to jog around a local field where I live. Initially, I was scared what people would think - fat bloke pounding the streets sort of affair - but the field is quite isolated and if I do it late at night, very few people are around. It was a killer today though - I only got through two circuits of the field (I guess about a mile) and that was half-walking half-jogging. Still, I am going to keep going at it to improve my stamina - plus it's amazing what listening to a little motivational music whilst exercising can do. I also need to try and cut alcohol but this shouldn't be too difficult, particularly as I have few social events over the next few weeks. I desperately tried to find my jockstrap but I left it at home - I think I may be buying a new one over the next few days. After all, I may as well have a little fun whilst I am exercising. And it may support things down there ;-)

"fat bloke" ? You don't even come CLOSE to being a fat bloke!

I always liked your build. I see you as "just right" if that makes sense.

A fair few people say that, I think I'm just alarmed I have put on a fair bit of weight over the last few years.

jockstrap?

Yes, to support my balls.

Your Humble Narrator always 'goes commando' when out for a run.

Don't they bounce about a bit?

Yeah; but you get used to it. Much cooler, too!

True, I could try that as well. I kinda like the kinkiness of jockstraps myself - keeps me amused during the dull pounding.

Must admit, I really dislike the "crushed nuts" effect of jockstraps and shorts with built-in linings.

It's a personal taste thing I guess, I tend to feel freer in a jock.

I really need to do something about weight lately. Optician has pointed out a cholesterol build-up (trip to the vet about that soon, should be too young for that to happen), and yesterday in a meeting I lost my pen.

Only to be discovered under my belly!

Time to do something about that!

Yep, I think you are right, particularly if the optician has noticed a cholesterol build-up. I am getting slight pains in the chest, a warning sign methinks.

Jogging is great. I love it very much but uni stole all my time and power :(
Hope I can do some at summer.
Anyway best of wishes at maintaining it better than me :)

Good luck with it hun, hope it works out well for you. The same happened to me at uni really, and my job is also doing that now. I just have to be determined this time.
