<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;">Not for the first time I've decided to start running again. Usually this happens around January 1st so I guess I'm six months late. Usually it stops again around June 1st so maybe I've missed the bogey patch.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;">But this time I have an added incentive. I play tennis and compete locally and have noticed that my fitness level really isn't up to much. If I don't get fitter I won't get those pesky drop shots or whatever. I lost a match yesterday - although that was mostly because she was better than me - and I have another tournament in early July. A bit short but I'm not a total couch potato and I think a bit of running will go a reasonable way. I won't be training for marathons or even 10ks but if I can run three or four times a week for just half an hour the dog will be delighted and so will I. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;">Anyway, here I am, my intentions are good and if my foot doesn't start hurting then I'll keep at it...I hope!</p>
