This video is about how to strengthen your feet! My feet like being bare feet! I have had lots of ‘trouble’ with my feet over the years, which means I have found out about exercises to help them! And finding the right shoes was always challenging! Very light running shoes were the best for me……

Today I thought I would be in Norfolk, but instead I am in Sussex. I have just run on the Ashdown Forest with Pooh, Piglet, Owl and Roo; they were the ones who were free for a run come fly today, the appearance of Owl rather surprised me as I didn’t expect to see him…

The cherries are here again… shiny pink, clusters of new life. They are hanging happily from the trees in the garden of Teide restaurant where Anadi and I have shared many cafe con leche’s since we started visiting Spain three years ago. Last summer, these beautiful trees became well acquainted with my Zen runners; we…

I love stretching on the beach… It has become a daily practise and my body is opening up again. In fact the stretches that are deeper, or harder for me to do, are accessing something previously inaccessible inside… I can feel this space I am living in currently, without much interaction or conversation, is lending…

A man is sitting at my table with me… He is happily writing postcards and drinking a fanta limon. He arrived, pulled a chair over and said something about not wanting to take up too many tables… There was not another table in use at the time. But we have settled in together now. I…

We got up early… For Spain! At 8am it felt like day was just dawning… A few people wandering, the man with his dog who sits on the promenade collecting euros was already in his place… The sun shone on the limpid blue sea; sparkling, dancing bright… Paving stones outside the restaurants wet washed from…

Yesterday morning I left Anadi working and I ran to the track; I then proceeded to run around it twelve times… I stretched out and ran faster for 200m and then slower for 100 meters, then faster again, round and around I ran in this fashion…. I loved it. The sun shone and the track…

I have been running all of my life – it feels I was born to run. In the running step I experienced freedom and my true expression. I came to see that I needed to ‘get out of the way of myself’ and let my energy flow through the running step; allow it…

I ran for 65 minutes this morning; some of it with Anadi and then I ran on for a bit before turning back to meet up with him on the beach and go for the swim I didn’t go for last night ? I have no idea how far I am running at the moment…

It is 5pm in Spain and I am sitting outside on a terrace, enjoying a café con leche… I have been sharing my office space today with another Inglés; he has seemed to be very industrious on his computer, whilst drinking cervezas and smoking cigarettes… He appears relaxed; and he looks quite bohemian… He reminds…

Anadi and I have just returned from a liquid lunch! We set off on an outing to visit the Castle… But after walking up the steep winding hill to the very top, we found we had arrived fifteen minutes after it had closed… Sundays in Spain are very ‘Sunday-ish’ indeed…Not much is open except for…

The plan this morning was to run some intervals on the track… Anadi came with me – he was going to stretch while I ran – but we arrived to the buzz and activity of ‘something going on’… Young boys and girls were collecting race numbers, and an exciting and anticipatory energy was all around… I…
