I decided to take a shot at joggling. Just for the fun of it. But first I need to learn how to juggle. This morning I got really close to being able to juggle three balls. I think I'll be able to get this down in a few weeks. Right now I can juggle them all twice before dropping them. Then I guess I have to add the running part, which I am sure will be tough. It gets really frustrating at times. Anyway, be back later after intervals tonight.

It's later, and I officially have my first joggling injury. I think from bending over too much to pick up dropped balls I'm really sore in my... bending over muscles (I don't fully understand what that means either, but it's true).

4x1200 with the track club. Didn't feel well at all. Back to lower leg pain. Booooo.

Sounds like a cool way to get into a bunch of race pictures. Hhhmmmmm.....

Haha that's probably true. I think it's going to be way harder than I originally thought, which is a bummer. But I bet juggling will be a great stress relief at school!

I can juggle pretty well, but I've never thought about running at the same time. Sounds kind of dangerous...I'd be worried about running into stuff :)

This is the funniest thing I've ever read! Please keep us posted on your joggling progress!

maybe you can get this guy to be your joggling coach.

"Back to lower leg pain. Booooo."

I got a stick massager for my calves and I think it has really helped eliminate some aches and pains. I'm not sure where your "bending over muscles" are but it might help those too.

Try joggling beanbags, they are easier to chase down :)

Thanks for the joggling encouragement :) Allie, that guy is crazy!!! I got hooked on watching joggling videos on youtube after I watched that, haha.

Rattletrap, thanks for the link to the stick, I think I am going to go ahead and get it.

I paid $32 for my stick, but you can find them on Amazon for $20-$30. I've been using mine a couple times a day for a week now and my calves are feeling great. My 2 year old grandson likes it too. He's so cute, I also caught him with my camera trying to take a picture of his toe like grandpa :)
