I’d been sleeping badly for a few months, often waking much too early, this has been making me tired in the day. This was probably due to anxiety caused by a few knock-backs I’d had in 2011. I’d also reluctantly reached the conclusion that it probably wasn’t my t-shirts that were shrinking. Then I read that trauma survivors ran to help get over their experiences. That was when I had my aha moment yes I too will start running/jogging. I started a tentative jog round the back of the sports center and to my surprise was able to graduate to a 5km Parkrun a few weeks later.
