Running and being ‘grumpy’
I haven’t been running much over the past few weeks; I think I’ve been out twice in the last month. I found myself coming up with all sorts of excuses for not going. I had a lot on my mind. I was tired. I had work to do. It was windy. It was sunny. Yesterday,…

SAFRI: conflict resolution
Someone told me that the SAFRI programme had changed their life, and I remember thinking that that might be taking it a bit far. But today brought me closer to thinking that it might not be that far from the truth. It wasn’t so much the content of the session, but the reflection and discussion…
