Running/Jogging

Once upon a time I used to be not a bad middle to long distance runner. Then I got fat and unfit. I feel I need to get fit again and so need a target of some kind but I really don't know where to start.

Now that lisaparratt is working at the same place as me we are intending to join the local gym (which gives a discount to company employees). I plan to may be use the treadmill or exercise bike followed by a session in the pool. What do people think?

Anyway any ideas and advice would be welcome.

Ouch!

Heard the one about the girl with the big earlobe? Well during the afternoon my right earlobe has got hotter and hotter and bigger and bigger. At least five times normal size. The ear itself is now red and hot and the gland under my ear on that side is large and extremely painful. My other ear is perfectly fine. I have a headache and achy kidneys.

I've taken pain killers and anti-inflamatories but I now feel like I have a temperature. I'm going to bed.
