So I've recently taken up running, about 5k every second day of the week... and I love it! 
Until the start of lent (when I started this running) I hadn't done any real exercise for months. I found I was tired alot of the time and took a lot of naps. I lacked energy and concentration. Work life balance seemed really tough to achieve. But, having put on my running shoes and pushed myself to get out on the road I feel ten times more energetic, productive, healthy and happy. I never thought I'd say this but, if theres a day I can't run for whatever reason, I really really miss it. Right now I'm working, but looking out the window and dreaming about my run in the sun later today. Its really changed my lifestyle just a short run every second day.
Does anyone else run? Or cycle or swim? Do you find the same benefits as me? :calm:
