He stepped out the front door, put his headphones in, and stretched a little.
This was the first time he’d ever done this.
He’d never been for a run before, except when running after the bus.
He was determined, he would not turn into the fat lazy man he was rapidly becoming. He would go for a run everyday, rain, wind or snow! The weather couldn’t stop him.
He ran to the bottom of the street, and then through the park, and then past the shops.
He wouldn’t stop until he ran the whole circuit he’d mapped out in his mind.
He felt good about himself, for the first time in weeks. In his mind he was already 3 stone lighter, and his stomach was ribbed as opposed to the bowl of jelly like appearance it had now.
He kept running, the gravel beneath his feet almost challenging him to hit it harder,
mile after mile,
he kept running.
His circuit eventually took him on the route home.
Suddenly he realised he didn’t have any food in the house for dinner, and then in the distance, he spotted,
The Ashvale Fish & Chip Shop.
