Probably because my diet yesterday was a bit less nutritious than I’m used to. I’m feeling a bit doped up. But I’m determined to do this. So I may start a list of reasons why running is a non-negotiable part of my life, to up by motivation a bit.

1. Physical strength. I love the feeling of being able to spend a whole day walking around at fast pace and feel good about it. Walked up stairs with only the slightest feeling of exertion.

2. Great Skin. Running stirs up all the crap that causes bad skin, and allows it to flush out of my body. = bad skin. I can already see a difference after just over a week.

3. Health. I keep this image in my mind of me at 60 or 70, strong and healthy, and full of energy. I want to be one of those people who keep their zest for life as they age. You can see a dramatic difference in people- a spark in their eyes, and some damn cut muscles (even if the skin covering them is a bit on the saggy side…). Being fit will enable me to lead my best life.

4. It’s not really a huge time commitment, so why wouldn’t I??

Okay, that’s enough for now, still feeling a bit doped up, but keen to make today a much better day than yesterday!
