Making Exercise

Obviously, we are a little out of our regular routine in Ghana, including our exercise regimen. It’s been 2 weeks since we’ve left the States and haven’t exercised since we stepped foot in Ghana. Today, we changed that. We went running around our neighborhood early this morning before the traffic got heavy. “Going running” isn’t really a common thing in Ghana- and we were mocked mercilessly. Everyone we ran past made a jogging motion, some began jogging with us, but most just laughed or smiled as we passed. Our housemates joined in our post-run stretching routine and kept talking about how uncommon “making exercise” in Ghana is. Nevertheless, we felt much better getting out and moving!
