Since returning from Lanzarote, after my magical week with my sister Rosy, I have not found a blogging moment… My days have been spent engaged with Kathy and Haze on their retreats here in Spain, and my other clients on Skype too… But today my day is stretching ahead with no sessions until 5 pm….

We are currently half way between Lanzarote and Gatwick, five miles high. When we arrive Rosy will head back to Dorset, and I will stay one night at Gatwick, before flying to the peninsula of Spain tomorrow morning. Rosy and I have had a wonderful week together, each evening we made a plan for the…

Yesterday morning I woke and ran through a rainy grey day to the beach. My last day in Eastbourne and I had a yen to run barefoot on the beach… I arrived here the Saturday before last and began to write then… This is a record at the beginning and end of a wonderful week…

‘A rose between two thorns’ he announced, ‘we’ll see’, the lady sitting next to him in the aisle seat laughed… I laughed too… The yang to the ying always present in this paradigm; I am a thorn, with the rose beside me. I usually choose an aisle seat so that I don’t have to disturb…

Today is a grey, washed blue day in Almuñécar… A very different view from the window I am sitting by, as I haven’t seen many clouds since I have been here… But it is beautiful and very still… And I enjoyed my morning run. I was wearing shorts and a T shirt, and as usual…

Julia demonstrates her regime of drills to support her barefoot running and make her body stronger. 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…

I have just returned from running some intervals along my Almunecar sandy strip of beach… I absolutely loved every minute. There is something about taking my shoes off that has rekindled in me a true desire to run… Any sense of ‘have to go running’ has left me, and I look forward to…

I have joined a gym here in Almunecar, It’s called ‘Tropical gym’, and seems to be mainly a body building establishment; I am happy within its walls. It is only about a three minute run to get there to train, I have taken to buying a protein shake at the end of my workout before…

‘We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time’ T. S. Eliot… My husband Anadi and I are nomads… We shed all our possessions, except those which we carry in our rucksacks and some hand baggage…
