Jowl Express

So having been banging on about how being overweight is making running that must more of an effort - I tried it this morning having lost 6lbs (I know, well done me) and frankly it didn't make that much difference. But that doesn't mean I'm off to the pie shop. I'm sticking with the Adlerian approach to intermittent fasting.

3.97 miles
10m 07s
I did do one of the miles in under 10 mins so, that, really

So, the title of this run's post. I'm getting on a bit and all those features of my parents that I associate with them being one generation older than me are turning up on my own features now - the eye bags, the drooping eyelids - and the jowls. It's a genetic thing from one side of the fam - and I am not happy about it but I have the serenity to accept it. Up to a point. You see, running makes my face look as old as it could ever look as it is now: I curl my lips over my teeth so they look like witchy lines and my grimace draws my jowls down - and then there's the double chin wattling away.  You spend £s on a nice running bra so your boobs are comfy - but what about a chin hammock to stop the wobble and support the slack?

So running makes you look old on the outside but keeps you young on the inside. Discuss.
