Today's run was an easy 3k. Having done 5k the other day the plan was to just take it very easy and enjoy the sunshine and scenery.

After about a km I had a thought so asked my husband, who was running behind me, if he minded that I was running so slowly when he is capable of going much faster than me.

There was a silence...then he said, 'No, it's not about speed, this is my meditation.'

You know what, he's right.
