No Pain No Gain!

Every day now there are many people in the park hurting themselves.

Some of them hurt themselves in groups, some individually. And there are different ways to hurt themselves too!

Anyway, it's called jogging. Fun level = zero, as these people all leave their jobs for the day, or for lunchtime, and get ready to transform all the stress of working into...the stress of jogging!

In fact, it very much seems like running is increasing the stress!

Well, I've done exercise (in my life) and I remember that it was a good feeling. I felt like part of me was coming to life! And afterwards I felt happier.

And running is fun too! As long as you're not running from a savage leopard.

If you see a nice wide open space on a nice sunny day, do you not sometimes wish you could have a quick run round, like you used to do? And you know that dogs have to be given a bit of a run out quite often, don't you? When people don't do it, it's called cruelty! But there is no Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Yourself...so you won't get into trouble for being totally immobile like you are cast in cement. Except you will be in trouble! It is not nice. It's what they told us at school - sit still, concentrate, don't talk, keep your eyes on your own work...and most of us obeyed! Now all we can do is sit still!

Today's recommendation is: move around, at least very slightly. Disturb the air around yourself a little!

Also, remember to have fun. And don't hurt yourself. Accidentally or on purpose!
