Run, fat boy, Run

As it gets close to the start of a new year my mind starts to ponder what I will do next year, this time last year I had no idea I would be sitting here doing this. To give you an idea of where I was last year, I had been off work with stress and panic attacks for over 3 months, the job I was had been in for 3 years was just too hard for me to cope with. Unfortunately this was just the job I had to go back to as the unions advice was that it would be better in that department than out of it (they were right). Given my state of mind I was starting to think I would never work again, as the job I could do was beyond me ability to cope, and to even think of trying something new just made me feel worst. Physically I was drinking too much and well over weight and not getting any real exercise. My whole mind set was that I was doomed and would never reach any higher than I had.
The change, when it happened, was unremarkable. I just decided I was going to do something; I was going to start running. It sounds silly now, but that 5 min run probably save my life, although it nearly killed me at the time. Once I started the challenge and started to see I could master something, I became stronger and more able to face other tasks, like starting back to work, taking photos and sorting out areas of my life and self that were limiting my growth.
