I spend so much time thinking about running (and very occasionally actually freeing myself from injury long enough to get out for a run) that I felt it was time so share some moments with the general public. There are often moments during a run when I stop because suddenly all of existence is channeled down into one thing. For instance, I was on a tiny lane in the countryside, and a hare bounded out of a field, stopped 6 feet away, and just squatted, looking at me. I stopped too and the hare very cautiously crept over, sniffed my shoe, paused, and after about 20 seconds lolloped off into the field. I was aghast at this, as they are such shy creatures. I carry experiences like this around with me for days afterwards.
My aim is to record these small life-affirming moments on this blog, and you never know I may even carry a camera and record them. I hope this won't be all about me, but more a sharing of these things so that others can be given a little touch of the magic. Who knows, you may go out and seek your own sparks of life!
you devil, a blog! looking forward to more of this x
