Commitment.

I lack it...

Since Uni finished for the year, I'm becoming ever increasingly aware that my fitness levels are nowhere near as good as they used to be, and it does my head in.

I used to be really fit back in the day, when I used to swim for Ormskirk Otters. But obviously I don't anymore.

Towards the middle of 2nd year college, I used to run about 5 miles every other day. It was great, because obviously, I felt good physically. But it was also nice to just stick an album on, and run without having to worry about anything (apart from avoiding potential day ruining encounters with cars) Endorphins n all that good stuff would flow through the veins, and everything would be right in the little world that I was inhabiting for 45 minutes or so.

So basically, in an attempt to prevent myself turning into a human block of lard, I decided I would recreate the glory days when I could walk up the stairs without requiring a mahoooosive canister of oxygen.

Day One: Went for a run, did about 2.5 Miles... That's ok though, I didn't expect to be able to get straight back into it after such a long time out. I could just increase the mileage gradually over the weeks. Right?

Wrong.

I just stopped, and I don't know why... The run I did was really nice. I felt comfortable the whole time, the 7am sun was cracking the proverbial flags and I had some beltin' choons in my ears.

I came to the conclusion that I'm just a lazy waste of skin... And as of tomorrow at 7am, I'm going change it.

Honest...

How's that for an anti climactical end to my little fitness story? I'm actually a bit disappointed myself, because I spend ages thinking of things to write, then when I read it back, it's about as unimpressive as Sunderland's 'city' centre. (Apologies to any Mackems reading this... But, your hugely over glorified town is awful)

I subscribed to the Youtube account of someone called Kyle Landry the other day, after I stumbled upon his cover of The Beatles' Across the Universe, And really enjoyed it. However it wasn't until I saw his original composition 'The Separation' that I decided to subscribe.

I really love the whole Youtube 'celebrity' thing. This guy is the same age as me, but thousands of people know who he is, and look forward to his updates and hearing his music.

I think it's really cool, and would love to be in the same position as one of these people one day.

My video's have like 200 views each, despite one or 2 of them having some fairly good content in them (mainly my animations) I actually just cannot fathom how word of mouth has made this go so (deservedly) popular. It's freakin' insane yo.

Anyways, I'm done. My neck hurts and I need to sleep in order to get up in time to begin my fitness regime.

Wish me luck.

Peace out.
