Dayz in Warrington, UK

Today I am really happy! For last few days I was trying to kill the boredom I have, staying here. There is a set routine of timings, work, evenings and mornings. Each day I spend my time same way, Most of which inside my room and apartment.

My body is also giving me some time guilty feelings as my shape (inching towards being 40) is getting deformed day by day. Tummy is trying to curl itself and I am sure I can't run or walk for even 2 miles.

In Warrington, there are not many places where you could sit and enjoy seeing at sea/ people/ nothing at all. So usually after finishing at my work I talk to my family back home and then see if anything interesting on TV Free-view. Prepare dinner or eat something not-so-good and then watch any streaming moving till you are sleepy.

A few weeks back I bought sports shoes specifically to start running, however I had a good pair with me already. So the fateful Tuesday came when I started running, it was good in the evening and could easily find time in the evenings. These days (summer in UK) the Sun is in sky till nine or half past nine, so effectively I have bigger day. So on the day I dressed up in trunks and new shoes. Started from my apartment and run to a nearby council park, had a good run encircling it. My leg muscles were tightened and gave up after a mile of run, I sat on a bench and did some leg stretching to avoid pain. That was it for the first day of run.

There was another activity which I was looking to, to get me busy and fit. I searched for Badminton clubs in and around Warrington. Zeroed in on a club named Vida Badminton Club, which is 1.6 miles from my apartment. They play every Monday 8 to 10 PM, it was suitable and good. So I dropped a mail to the contact person and got favourable reply an to my goodness they could arrange a badminton racquet on loan for me. That was such a nice thing, so I am keeping me up to attend first session on coming Monday playing Badminton.
