Despite all resistance, I'm a programmer. It started with endless hours of torture reading DATA statements to my father as he typed them into our TRS-80. ARRRGHHH!!
This moved to an actual interest once I learned how to code a little, then in college I said "there is no way I'm living my life in front of a stupid computer screen" so I quit.

Four years later, tired of managing a restaurant, and partying til 4-5 in the morning I sought more structure. And got a job programming. It serves me well and here I am.

I know a half mile isn't much to brag about, but a few months ago, I couldn't even go 1/10 of a mile without collapsing into a heap on the ground

Zig Ziglar in his book See You At The Top tells the story about how he reduced his weight and became a lot fitter. He said that the first time he went out running he managed to run a block. The next night a block and a mail box, the third night a block and two mail boxes. Now, and this is where he apologieses for bragging, but I think he deserves it, he can stay on the tredmill longer than any member of the NFL and he's in his 60s [it was the revised edition of the book - the original edition he wrote in his 40s as he was starting to become fitter]. So, perceverance is all it takes. Keep heading towards your goal and you'll get there sooner than you think.

I can now actually see myself jogging a mile at a stretch soon

Great! Another tip from Zig is that - as he often had to travel for business and sometimes the hotel didn't have a gym, is was snowing out side, or whatever - all he did was jog on the spot in his room.

I bought an excersise bike so I don't have an excuse. So I better get on it...

Have a great week.
