You always feel better

While I can't stand over everything below, from my knowledge...

There are things that you never feel better after:

• A session.
• Receiving an indictment.
• A car accident.
• An extra marital affair.
• A break-in.
• Losing by a last minute goal.

 There are things that you rarely feel better after

• An operation (at least not immediately).
• Vincent Brown
• Opening you work email at home.
• A Big Mac meal.
• Watching 2 hours of cat videos on YouTube.
• Taking a phone call from you ex.

And there are things that you nearly always feel better after

• A lie-in
• Taking an extra day off work
• A hot shower.
• A cold shower.
• Taking the time to ring an old friend.
• A massage.

And finally there is one thing that you always feel better after

• A run.

While the weather might be howling, the rain spitting, the body fatiguing, the work mounting and the daylight fading it is a rare, rare thing to come back from a run and to regret it. If you can always remember this then you will always have just enough energy to get yourself out that door and cover those miles. Yesterday 4 of those 5 boxes were ticked as well as the other one where I was already running late. So it wasn't an easy one but I did get out. And after 8.5 k I came home a little more late,  quite a bit wet, it nearly dark but feeling great.
