Great to hear that you've decided to resume your physical activity routine of walking and jogging, which helped you both physically and mentally. It's understandable that starting out in a public setting may have been uncomfortable at first, but it's great that you persevered and eventually found it to be a routine that helps you clear your mind. It's important to prioritize physical activity, especially if you're typically sedentary, as it can have a positive impact on your overall health and wellbeing. It's great that you're finding inspiration for your writing during your walks, and even though you take the same route, you're able to find something different every day. It's unfortunate that you're unable to return to your local sports center due to distance and cost, but it's great that you found a familiar route that still allows you to get some exercise.
Yes. It's a good thing, it relaxes me and when I put on my headphones with my playlist, I let myself enjoy the moment. Another thing that I discovered while walking is that it's healing, and sometimes cathartic.
