On The Band Wagon

Today I caved.

Just like every man [or woman] and his dog, I went for a run.

It seems now that we're confined to our houses, working from home and we can't hit the gym, every one has turned into a runner.

Parks are busy with people running.

Streets are busy with runners plugged into their airpods.

Even I'm running.

The last time I went for a run was for the 2018 Blackmore's Sydney half marathon, almost two years ago.

And you know what... I didn't mind it.

It actually made me realise why I used to run when I was younger.

It'd help me think things out and ponder about life.

Now even more so, it's time to try new things.

I'm not sure if the country you are in allows you to run outdoors or you have to stay inside on lockdown and self isolation but now more than ever is a time to try new things.

If not for our physical health but for our mental health.

So I'm not going to urge you to join Team Brock Ashby today, just try something new that may make you feel good.

Go for a run.

Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Listen to an audiobook instead of watching TV.

Sleep early instead of staying up late.

Learn a new hobby instead of being "bored".

"Doing the same thing brings you the same results but trying something new may unlock the results you need."
