I do five miles a day.
And whilst I'm actually running I don't mind it, but I hate it when I have to stop and walk for a couple hundred yards. As soon as I can run the whole distance (I get around three quarters of the way round at the moment before having to walk) it'll not be as bad. That's not saying I like it.

But what I love, and I mean properly love, is when I get in. As someone who over the summer does fuck all, it gives structure to my day and I haven't felt this content in ages. It's weird, normally I wake up at two in the afternoon, but since I've been running I'm wide awake by 8AM at the latest and then get the run out the way as soon as possible. It's not the running it's how it makes me feel for the rest of the day.

controversial, but...
... why not get a job? that gives you structure AND money... AND a better cv...

I've got a placement coming up shortly.
And I work for my aunt whenever I can depending on how busy she is (could work every day for three weeks and then once in three weeks).
Oh and I just lie on my CV. A lot.

Yeah I agree.
My mate emailed some Japanese bank out of the blue a couple months ago despite them not taking anyone on. They hired him because they liked him being proactive, the jammy cunt's getting £800 a week. He would have done it for free.
But aye I've got a placement sorted that's directly related to my degree, and they said I can go back each summer as long as I'm not a knobhead. I've got to worm my way in there, whilst also hiding the fact I am indeed a massive knobhead.

I can't help thinking some sort of law education probably helped too
