I’m introducing 50 small healthy habits during the year which will add up to a big improvement in my health. This is how the first six months have gone.
Discovering if running is for me #OneBigFatRun
Running is considered an easy form of exercise you can do anywhere, anytime. But I’m not a fan, mainly because I find it boring; very boring (and hard).
