Same Old Me

It was a January morning when I first discovered them. I was on my way home from a night out. The 'Fitness Boot Campers' all full of New Year, New Me excitement. They run across the park then drop before their leader and do push ups. I wanted a new body instead of my wine weary one. I needed discipline in my life.
They meet, whatever the weather, every Saturday.
I've not missed a session this year since.
As they push themselves to their limits I sit on a bench and watch. I smoke. And sometimes take a bacon cob.
