Unit 15

In the morning before he went to work, Dan usually jogged for about 3 miles. He had decided that he needed the exercise because his job was so sedentary. Besides, his doctor had warned him about his excess fat, and the danger it could pose for his heart. Now, after more than 3 months of steady jogging he felt fine. His physical condition pleased him, and his doctor had complimented him about his faithful effort to reduce his weight. Today, for some reason he felt even more energetic than usual, he wondered about increasing the distance to 4 miles. He felt strong enough to jog 5 miles, but realized that he would overextend himself. He pulled on his jogging suit, put on cap and gloves, it was still rather chill early in the morning, and opened the front door of the house. It was a beautiful clear morning, the sun was just peeping over the horizon. Dan took 3 deep breaths and started out. He was glad to be alive.
