I did some light cardio today.

Okay for the better news. I have signed up for the

I am going to need to buy some new running shoes. [Jocelyn saw my shoes and gave me a look. So she suggested I go to Fleet Feet and get some awesome running shoes.]

One thing I am worried about are my knees. Perhaps I should get a knee brace.

More to come. This is going to be awesome.
