Exercise

โ€œYouโ€™re so not in form, now who was it who claimed to start running every morning?โ€

โ€œHuffโ€ฆ puffโ€ฆ I know, Iโ€™ll start tomorrow.โ€

โ€œHow many times do I tell you to exercise, but no.โ€

โ€œHuffโ€ฆ I will. Letโ€™s just get to this shed and then go home.โ€

โ€œYou said that last time too.โ€

Also, apologies in advance for duplicate comments. WordPress is being a pest where it’s either asking me to re-login or says there’s an error whenever I hit ‘Post Comment’ and I can’t seem to figure out if it’s already published.
