Fighting Fit

I wish I was but I ain't, but I do feel a shed load better than I did this time 3 months ago when I decided it was time to start getting fit.

I'm off to get thrashed at badminton tonight with Mr. Chicky. We've been playing for about 3 months now, every Monday night. I'm yet to win.

Still, its better to travel in hope than it is to arrive.

I've been forcing myself to doing a lot of walking recently. I suffered a bad back in October, which scared the life out of me to the shape I was in. So I've been making as much as an effort as possible to walk (or jog) back and fore to work, as well as going out for a walk most lunchtimes.

It's paying off - It originally took me longer than 40 minutes to walk home - now I can do it in 25. As for running, I can do the distance in about 15 mins. Impressive - to me if no one else. By my unfit and unhealthy standards.

I was a heavy smoker and I'm still paying for it. I think I will for the rest of my life. 13 years of the crap. Gah. Ah well. At least I'm addicted to walking now, hell of a lot better than fags.

Tonight is the downside of all this walking though - The sky is already black and it looks like I will be soaked. Happy, but soaked.
