With the lighter mornings and nights, returning to running has been easier than I expected. This week I began the sixth week if the C25K programme, and over the past few weeks I’ve enjoyed the hypnotic effect of listening to Laura.

I’m not the world’s greatest runner. So far I can manage 20 mins non stop which allows me to cover 2 miles. I could probably walk faster. However I enjoy the space physically and mentally.

With no-one able to disturb your thoughts there is much that can be rearranged and ordered. Watching creation change in this late spring stirs creativity, and plans and ideas be gin to take shape.

Perhaps the downside for me is that while I run a quiet road, I still find myself being spotted. If I had to travel to run I would never bother, so for the time being its a bug I have to live with.
