Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
To supplement the jogging with my beer-guzzling Dorm friends, we would soak up rays whenever we could. Because laying on a towel seemed lame, we tossed a Frisbee around.
We got really good at it. We impressed the girls with how far we could throw and the amazing catches we could make.

Please don’t get me wrong, I still ran. I was, after all, a Health & Physical Education major, destined to be a High School Gym teacher during the school year, and drive a beer truck during summers – just like Mr Warner, our 8th-grade Gym Teacher. He was the epitome of cool.
But between the beer consumption and the late night munchies, I had to run. You get the picture.

Not fifth fastest in your division or conference. This was sad for me. But a loop hole appeared. And…self-esteem problem solved…

The younger jeff noel was, the faster he was. Set a 7th grade school record. And again in 8th and 9th grades. Even in High School.

The same week I started doing one push-up a day, I began running one mailbox a day for the first week. Then two mailboxes a day the second week and so on. Mailboxes are about 100 meters apart here.

After one month, I was very slowly jogging the equivalent of one lap around a school track – 400 meters.
