We’re lucky enough to have an in-house running machine, which hides in plain sight in the thoroughfare between the open-plan dining and sitting rooms. Regular readers will know that I’ve not used it for a while, but recently it’s been out of bounds and surrounded by the flotsam & jetsam of life and the paraphernalia of our recent house guests.
Last weekend we finally managed to clear enough space for it to emerge from the background of my subconscious as the solution to a short-term problem.: I’ve not been getting enough exercise recently and I know that this eventually results in my brain working more slowly… something that I can’t afford to do right now with the pressures of my exciting new role.
Suffice to say that the machine was fired up early this morning and a short run ensued. Just one mile in just under 10 minutes, but I know that one run of this nature each week would tip the balance in favour of a clearer head. As per usual… watch this space 🙂
