So… I jogged again.
It wasn’t any easier than yesterday, but I guess it takes time — and to be honest, I mixed up the routine a little, so it’s hard to measure if I did any better or not. I also warmed up beforehand — twists, stretches, arm-circle-thingees but perhaps I was a little too rigorous, leaving my heart not quite ready for two hundred METERS of jogging.
There’s always tomorrow… and the next day!
And no, though I sound like a convert, I’m NOT. I don’t ENJOY it — not by a long way. But it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.
Anyway, I set up my camera so that I could record a little bit of video after my jog. I don’t know if I’ll make a habit of this… but… here you go:

Also, though TMI Thursday has sadly come to an end — blame Lilu, that cow! — I did manage to record another video that elucidates just why exactly men scratch their nuts:
I don’t really enjoy listening to myself talk… but that first line! I have to admit, I’ve listened to the first line a few times.

Unrelated, but did any of you (Brits) watch The First Election Debate last night, on ITV? It wasn’t great. Less of a debate, more of a bickerfest. I don’t know how anyone is meant to pick a leader from a debate like that. At least Nick Clegg didn’t spend the majority of his time splitting hairs or repeating choice phrases from stump speeches. Gordon Brown, poor sod; seems to actually know his stuff but lacks the necessary charisma or force of will to see it through — he’s been given a bad hand of cards, put it that way. And good ol’ David Cameron… he’s the least offensive of the lot, I guess. Nice enough — but is that enough?
I don’t think Brown or Cameron should be put on a stage together again, that’s for sure. It doesn’t bring out the best side of either! The Conservative and Labour partiesmust know that this election may come down to voting on who is the least worst candidate…

Your features are so funny, well researched, informative.
I see a great publishing career (on TV)!

Why men scratch their balls? Actually I wanna know the tricks that can get them to “shave” without complaining so much. LOL.

I laughed my ass off at the end of your jogging video.
Awesome!

It’s one of those things, Andhari… like why men still run around a field and kick a ball… and tackle people… and make weird grunting noises. It’s all kind of antiquated but it takes TIME to leave the system…
Glad you approve of expletives, Miss Brunette

I think you should keep doing the ‘things you always wanted to know about men’ thing on YouTube. And bring back Time Travel Thursdays (or something like that). FOR REALZ. <3

Also I would like some of your motivation, please. Just send it over here. Because I’ve been needing to get at least some small amount of exercise for years now….

Time-travel Thursday was quite fun…

The smell? Ew. I have on occasion noticed my boyfriend scratching (outside the clothing) and, uh, assisted him, but he never seemed interested in the scent. I sometimes get itchy in my nether regions, but the scratching is unrelated to any interest in the smell. I could go into my explanation of why I itch down there sometimes–it’s not something that needs to be checked out by a doctor–but this is turning into TMI for an unsolicited comment. Retreating for the time being.

I’m sure you could say why, without referring to yourself… perhaps ‘I have a friend who’…

I know I’m a few days late, but I had to say this: thank you for making me laugh.
My boyfriend can be extremely smelly, he obviously enjoys a scratch.

salty bile? That is a sign of your lower intestine trying to escape through your esophagus. It is the same effect as watching 3 politicians vainly trying to remember to everything their PR team have told them to do. Look into the camera, use people’s names, tell personal stories, smile, SMILE Gordon, don’t grimace. The second debate was no better. I vote we put them all in a boxing ring with baseball bats and see who wins.
