What did you, or do you, like most about school?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 06, 2009:

:) I was a sporty boy at school (house captain, wheich meant I lead lots of the sports teams), I guess that helped me to - just about- stay in the top academic stream...  And I had lots of good friends, some of whom I'm still in contact with.

Looking back, I guess the teachers lack of flexibility in how they taught pupils is part of what led me to what I do now... And all these years later, I've become friends with my old head teacher who lives around the corner from me.

Where is Your Attention?

I've started "trying" to get myself back into shape by stretching, running and doing various other exercises. I'm on week four... and it's not as easy as I remember!

I went for my usual short run tonight. Because it was a cold and windy London/Surrey night, I was wearing a hooded top. The hood was low over my eyes and this meant that I could only focus on what was in front of me and on taking the next step...

The funny thing is, that - although I did the run very slightly more quickly than I have most times before - the run was MUCH easier...

I wonder if that means something...
