Day 160
It was cradle to the grave stuff today. Circuit training with Erik, followed by a bit of helping out with the Buggy Running class in Southwark Park, run by my mate Jannet for The Greenwich Runners. The new mothers taking part are getting back into running via a power walk/intervals in the park with a push-chair and everyone's happy: the babies, parked peacefully in the shade of a horse chestnut tree, the mothers, slowly getting reunited with their cores, and Jannet and I, happily making use of our Leader in Running Fitness and Level 2 Coaching qualifications, gained via Run England.
The evening was spent catching up with a whole roomful of appropriately gorgeous looking Fitness Writers, all gathered together to talk about new initiatives to encourage activity among children. One such was launched by Les Mills of New Zealand, in a bid to get everyone active
The hours in between, attending an immensely moving, heartfelt and harmonious funeral for the inspirational music teacher and force of nature John Skinner MBE, who died aged 61 and is mourned by a huge number of pupil and colleagues, reminded me that life is short, and should be as sweet, full and irreproachably wholesome as this day has been.
