Ah, but then where would I get my endorphin hit.

Out of all the exercise contraptions I have the one thing that gives me that endorphin hit is running, on treadmill and outside. Not even the spin bike does it anymore!

A lot of my mates at school hated PE but cross country in freezing winter weather was my fix. They would bunk off and smokes cigs at the swings whilst taking it in turns to play look out for the teachers! I would go around twice, crossing two fields and a kissing gate. I could never run hurdles or do the long jump I was too short and I was never picked for rounders as I couldn't run on the flat, but I could belt the ball like a cricketer apparently! I got ribbed a lot for loving it, that and hockey. It must be in my genes as my brother is the same and my dad loved being outside in all weathers too.
