Read if you dare.

I finally started jogging today. God damn I am so out of shape lol and the running shoes I had that I THOUGHT would be comfortable, ended up raping my feet. Ran one lap and walked three. Hopefully I'll be able to run longer and walk less but it'll be a continuous process every other day. I timed myself for about an hour which is pretty standard in my opinion. Who knows? Maybe I'll push the time limit further when I get more comfortable with jogging longer distances. 

As I was walking home from my session with my feet cringing in pain, a car signaled to stop across the street from me to a nearby curb, a couple. At first, I thought they had a problem with their car or some similar emergency and whatnot. A second, cursory gander and I assumed one of them would eventually step into the house adjacent from where they were parked to make a quick visit. However, once I finished traversing the crosswalk to the said curb, it quickly became apparent that they had stopped for me! They were an old couple upon closer observation and one of them, the aged lady, had her hand outstretched with a small piece of paper in her hand. As I came closer, she smiled sweetly at me and gestured me to take what seemed now to not be a piece of paper, but a small pamphlet. I squinted and checked the title, "Who Are Jehovah's Witnesses?" Now I'm one to not get so riled up about religion (George Carlin, eat your heart out.) or perform such rituals, per se, such as praying, offering and DONATING but I was strangely interested. I flashed a quick smile, nodded and took the pamphlet. She seemed glad that I even bothered to stop because I would assume myself that a lot of people would not even so glance at them as they pass by. A small part of why I even decided to take up in their offer was because they stopped and waited for me. They had a small inkling of faith that I wouldn't be like the rest. Boy, weren't they lucky? LOL. 

They drove off shortly afterward and I continued back home, slowly walking and reading at the same time. It piqued my interest so much, I forgot for a brief moment, the ACHING pain in my feet from the horrible running shoes. Ironically enough, it supported several of my beliefs about religion, such as repression for the idea of social class where people are divided and the clergymen are at the peak of society. It expressed equality where no man was above the other and that God, or Jehovah in this case, would intend humanity to conduct themselves such as he would discipline himself. There is no hell as Jehovah would not condemn souls to such cruel punishment, stating death is harsh enough and resurrection is granted to those worthy and nothing to those unworthy. Not to get all preachy but a lot of it made sense! I was surprised. However, it stated some things that I was not fond of, such as Jehovah coming down with those he resurrected to cleanse the world anew. Wtf? I need to research more into this. I'm just making judgment from whatever information the pamphlet provided so don't flame me you religious nuts. JK! I bear no ill will against those who believe and they should not against me either.


At least I hope they do not.


Anyways, I finished reading the thing and got home to relax my poor, poor feet. My calves and thighs hurt pretty bad, but damn it my feet are not supposed to ache this much. I feel like an old man and it's still so early.


RAWR!
