Day 30
I've stepped up my training. I was intending to just follow the low impact video from YouTube but frankly, it started to bore the pants off me. So I've gone back to jogging. I had stopped last year, because I got an ache in my knee. As a makeup artist, I'm on my feet most of the day, so dodgy knees are not an option.
But I have missed it. So this week, taking it easy. I did a slow 5k run. The sun was bursting through the clouds, the streets were empty, the birds were singing and I didn't stop once.... I felt absolutely fantastic! So much so, that I did it again the day after, and the day after that.
They say you can't beat a good bit of exercise to make you feel like you can take on the world. So why did I stop doing it for so long? FEAR! The fact is, the twinge in my knee could simply have been the fact that I hadn't warmed up or cooled down properly or I wasn't concentrating on how I was running and putting added pressure on my knees. It could be many reasons, but I let the worse case scenario overtake my wanting to do something I actually enjoyed.

Every week I read the Rush Hour Crush in the Metro. People who see someone on their journey to work but who are too afraid to say hello in person, so they put an article in the paper. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? The worse that can happen is they say no thanks, and you're then free to move on.
People stay in a job they absolutely hate, day in and day out, slowly eating away at their soul. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? That you'll never find another job, or one that you love? How do you know if you are too afraid to try.
People who stay in relationships they hate WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? That you will be on your own? So what! If you can't stand your own company, what good are you to anyone else. Why don't you assume the great love of your life is just a street away instead.
People fear death WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? The great unknown? I have a theory; we are all energy, we close our eyes, we sleep, we replenish that energy. We close our eyes, we die. Energy disperses and forms something else and that's it. It's also inevitable, so why not try living your life instead of fearing it.
