A Momentary Lapse of Reason - The Pink Floyd

One slip and down a hole we fall - Gilmour

Is there anything in the world that's free? Even the air and water aren't free! Especially if your car requires either at the petrol station or at Waitrose where a litre of ionised water costs a staggering £2.25.

 

However, ‘Free-time’ is actually what it says - Free. A Free gift, which sadly gets frittered away whenever something else pops up to distract us from taking advantage of a momentary lapse of freedom.

 

Take today, and I'm sure just like you I've had a Trojan of a first week back, working all hours God sends to make my business succeed. I did however make some space today to run 42.2km and enjoy the elements of a very cold yet bright trip to Barrybados and back.

 

On these 'Day outs' as I refer to them, topography is viewed, change is seen, weed is smelt (a lot) and most of all, life's good things are realised. I mean, the whole 42.2km is free. Free from distraction, negativity and demands of others. All you do is breath in the scenery and keep running until you've had your fill.

Over the weekend why not spend your free time more wisely and cash in on the outdoors?
