exercise-y goodness

Let the record show that I made it to the gym twice last week. I also went last night. I've been running jogging for up to 4 minutes at a stretch, which is the point when I am (barely) capable of pushing the buttons to slow down the treadmill and still have enough breath to swear at the lousy user interface.

This afternoon was soccer practice. By an amusing coincidence, I saw an article recently saying that soccer is better exercise than jogging. I can attest to that, though I think they need to add the phrase "if done properly". :P I was trying *way* harder than certain of my teammates.

The soccer is for a work thing next month, several of us are going to Japan. We're going to get our asses kicked at the actual sporting part; luckily that's not our entire reason for going!

"I saw an article recently saying that soccer is better exercise than jogging."

If nothing else, soccer is probably better for the knees than jogging because you're on grass/dirt.

We're doing it wrong then... we're playing in the back parking lot. There's probably *slightly* less chance of getting run over, anyway.

Jogging would be better exercise with people chasing you. (-:
