Exercise can do wonders for the soul.

Seriously, I remember being a lot crabbier than I am these days. Was reminded of that today when I got all crankypants in the morning. Lucky it didn't really last through the day - The visit from Mr Chairman and the good meeting during lunch time was cause enough to lighten up. But still, something was niggling at me from somewhere in the deep recesses of my soul.

So when work was done, I hauled my blister-causing trainers off the gym, determined to get my running legs working before the race this weekend. Did a light tempo run to loosen up the legs and felt really good throughout the run. Got a bit bored somewhere in the middle but saw this really pretty girl on a treadmill nearby and the speed she was doing inspired me to suck it up and be more constructive with the training session. As per normal, I've got two new bubbles on the insides of my feet, but heck - no pain, no gain, right?

And tada! I'm now feeling a lot perkier, which brings me to my question. Does lethargy come on with inactivity? If it does, I'd better get crackin' coz I hate feeling that way.
