So I start jogging, slowly.  It's been awhile.  I notice my shadow, running along beside me.  It's so slow and it's feet seem like they are barely getting off the ground and it certainly could loose some weight.  It seems to be mocking me. I turn a corner and now my shadow is in front of me, encouraging me.  Hey, hey, hey, hey won't you come along, come along . . .  Much better.  The weather is perfect and there are a few early trick or treaters to watch.  I forget about my shadow and finish the 3 miles, mostly walking.  It's a start.  I'll be jogging the 3 miles soon enough.
