Runnin' (lose it all)



Before I went to see my GP in July I was running 3-4 times a week. I'd completed couch to 5k and had registered for my first race covering this distance. He thought this was very positive, reminding me of the mental benefits associated with exercise as well as the physical.

Three months have passed since then and I've exercised once. Thought about it lots but indecision, tiredness and a general lack of interest have pinned me to the floor, sofa or bed. 

Like a subliminal message I can't get the song Runnin' (lose it all) out of my head. An earworm with a hidden message? Possibly. I decided to take notice and tonight ventured to the gym to start C25K again. It felt ok. Not as enjoyable as before but ok. I didn't lose it all. But I did manage to lose some of it for about 30 minutes.

I'll try again later in the week. That's as much as I can commit to at the moment.
