I’ve been thinking. Sure, we are all thinking about something from moment to moment, but I wonder how many people sit down to deliberately think about one thing? In fact, since I sold out of my marketing business in 2007 and have been thinking in a more focused way about thinking, I’ve observed that [...] I was humbled that, at Christmas, my folks thanked me for my psychological support during last year. I find it interesting that that despite being a highly evolved species, it is often the simple stuff that makes a difference to how we think and how we feel. Take smiling for example. It may be [...] After a really fun, relaxing and generally somewhat studious Christmas and New Year break, FosterRuns got back to business this morning with a delicious run on a BEAUTIFUL sunny day! I had decided on the title above as I sat studying this morning, so there was little question about where I was going to run… [...] We were at a FAB party at Clive & Nat’s last night, during which time Pete & Cliff reminded me about the Mince Pie ten mile race this morning. Though I remember saying that I ‘might’ see them there, even then I was somewhat doubtful… I could list the reasons for my doubt, but it [...] Once again I tootled off to my parents house for my run, although having got absorbed in re-reading David Eagleman’s book Incognito, the Secret Lives of the Brain this morning, I was even later in starting out than last week. Eagleman writes beautifully: ‘Your consciousness is like a tiny stowaway on a transatlantic steamship, taking credit [...] After a fun-packed day of sculpting and Scouting yesterday, the alarm this morning was an unwelcome intrusion… especially as it was still dark. I even fell asleep again on a chair in the space between putting the coffee-pot on and it boiling! But it was all for a good cause as I was meeting Mark at 8am [...] Having sported a painful back for about a week, I couldn’t face a repeat run with Mark and Mach 2 yesterday, so I opted instead for a relaxing day in the garden… wasn’t it a beaut?! Relaxing day in the garden is an oxymoron for me, of course. I cleared out the tea-house ahead of [...] At the point that I met Mark this morning at 8am at Jack & Jill I was feeling a little jaded. Kim and I had given Karen & Fergus a lift back to East London from an interesting dinner in North London and then driven back to Sussex to arrive very slightly after 3am. [...] This time last week, BIG man Daren & I were returning from the Alps, where we completed the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) in 4 days and 20 hours. This is fast compared to the numerous walkers who take a luxurious 11 days over the route, but nigh on 4 days longer than the winner [...] I can say unequivocally that I did not want to run, such that I sat in the sun drinking coffee and avoiding it for a couple of hours this morning. The excuses that I offered myself included a stiff back from an uncomfortable night bivouacking Thursday, exacerbated by bending over a craft table mounting & framing ten [...] |
