In an effort to promote a healthier lifestyle, and to consider reducing his own carbon footprint, our very own Nick Woodrow (manager of the Central Skills Training Facility) is pictured setting his stop watch in preparation for his jog home.
Nick changes out of his business suit to replace it with his shorts and jogging top at the end of a hard day to enjoy his brisk run home. Of course, many rumours circulated that a taxi was waiting for him just around the corner on Glaisdale Drive, but I can assure you that this was not the case!!
There are many things an individual can do as an alternative to jogging to change their lifestyle to a more healthy one; such as stopping smoking, eating more fruit and vegatables, and cutting down on foods that are high in saturated fats.
Taking regular exercise will also improve health. You don't have to jog like Nick, but even walking to work or college will improve your overall fitness, as well as helping the planet by reducing the number of car or bus journeys you make.
Nick hopes that other members of staff and learners will follow his example to strive for a healthier lifestyle and reduce greenhouse gases. Naturally, as the darker nights draw in, I would advise that you consider your safety when jogging by wearing some form of High-visibility garment so that you are clearly visible to motorists.
Keep on running!!
Well done Nick!
