I remember a teacher at school one day telling our class she'd only just learnt how to run. The difficulty was realising that you need to use opposite arm to leg. I try and do same arm to leg sometimes when I'm really living dangerously. It's exhilarating. Anyway, that's beside the point. I can run, just not very fast. The other day I was feeling a bit anxious and realised it was because I hadn't done any exercise for ...
