I find myself yet again at the beginning. A combination of yet again getting ill and then another exhausting half term with my little poo flingers means I’m starting my regimen again. Time to push on and push hard.

This time rather than running a circular and arriving back at home I ran out 1.5 miles and then walked back. Not only the perfect warm down but also a way to keep the metabolism raised. Aside from that I love it because wherever you walk in my town you end up in the countryside within ten minutes or so. That’s just brilliant for one’s mental wellbeing.

This is why I prefer to be outside rather than simply at a gym. I hate gyms. Why pay to use a machine when nature, the best therapy, is free?

A horrible month survived. Time to thrive.
