I try to do Kegels but I'm never motivated to, and @Discombobulated is right; they are important!

I went for a long jog this morning, around 8 mi. at a good steady pace the whole way, and I walked around 0.5 mi back home to cool off. I started a lot earlier too, in the dark and it is so much easier for me to run when the sun is not out or is low in the sky and not too bright and too hot yet. It felt good to jog after 2 days off from running. I need to keep incorporating the pilates workouts between running as it helps my jogging when I take a day or 2 off from it.
