How did this happen then?

I used to run in my  teens and my twenties, and was regarded as nutter at school because I  used to like cross country. I was mad on athletics as a kid too and could do a reasonable 400m. Fast Forward some years I'm over wieght unfit 46 year old, with a crumbling marriage,  a smoker and  fond of a drink.

So I bought a treadmill, a right old lump of a thing  for  less than 300ukp delivered. It sat in a fucking huge  cardboard  box in the hall for a week. I assembled it  and ran slowly for 10 minutes one thursday night. It took me two hours for  my body to get back to temperature. So thereafter I spent a little time pretty much every day running on the treadmill, and I mean almost every day.  After 4 months or so I could run for 45 mins although it was starting to get fearsomely dull  and thought about hiting the streets
