Alice had been convinced by her husband to get more exercise. They were both at that stage of life when waistlines began to get a little more prodigious. Going for a regular run would burn off the fat.
Alice had to admit that she was feeling much better, apart from looking trimmer than she had for years. The daily run, once the initial sore muscles phase had been conquered, was a pleasure; almost an addiction. She no longer felt tired. She no longer felt useless. Energy poured out of her in droves. At least it did until she was out on a run and got hit by a bus.
And, right there folks, is why I don’t run. Thank you for the public service announcement, BA.

At least you’ve got a worthy reason. I have a nose that runs and feet that smell.

I take it from that, that you’re not heavily into working out in the gym…

I meant “of exercise ‘ (maybe you should write a story on phones “correcting” their user’s writing).😊

Don’t be so depressing. Having read some of your recent happy ends, I was fully expecting her to meet a handsome jogger and leave the boring and still plump husband 🤣

What you suggest was about to happen. She was to meet the handsome bus driver but the bus got out of control.
