BOXING ON
Nathan Goodall is attempting to make amends today.
True to form, the 31-year-old from Masterton absolutely went overboard on Christmas indulgence, leaving him this morning with what he called a “double hangover, food and alcohol combined.”
“I woke up feeling like a stuffed turkey myself,” he admitted. “Honestly, my body was staging a protest. I had no choice but to move. I’ve gotta look in some sort of shape if I’m going to be spending the next week at the beach.”
Goodall described coaxing his unwilling body into some form of exercise.
“I genuinely felt ten kilos heavier. My fridge was laughing at me,” Goodall said. “So I grabbed my running shoes and just, well this food bell isn’t going to vanish itself!.”
As he jogged, he became all too aware of his body’s new dynamics. “Everything was wobbling in ways I didn’t know possible. If someone saw me, they’d probably call it a medical emergency,” he said, grimacing.
Nathan insisted he completed the full five kilometres without stopping, though he admitted it wasn’t a speed record. “It was less about time and more about turning up and doing something to shift yesterday’s load,” he explained.
More to come.
