A few minutes of joy

Another sleepless night in pain. It’s extraordinary what pain can do and what it really means.

Another round of physiotherapy and even though it had been only a few days since this acute sensation, it was already far too long.

I ran a short loop with the young boy, delighted to run a few minutes, my mood if not my pain immediately alleviated.

Then I watched him train, the sun rising behind him, as he chased down a sprint and hurdles workout.
