Some years back I thought I was putting on too much weight so I decided to start jogging in the mornings. I found a partner who lived in our estate, but he was into sports so could run much further distances than me.
We calculated what a mile would be and planned to achieve that every morning by running past all the closes, right down to the end of the estate. As I got out all motivated in my running shoes we hit the road and I realised I couldn't run even a quarter of the distance, I lived in Close C but I couldn't run from Close C to Close E without stopping. By the time I had reached Close F I had to stop and I was so disappointed in myself –embarrassed even.
