Running helps you take life in your stride | Letters
Briefly

I see it no differently to brushing my teeth or making my bed—a healthy habit that instils something positive in every single day. My brother, on the other hand, thinks that I have ruined running through making it compulsory. I disagree; I still take immense pleasure in the great runs, even if they are scattered among perfunctory ones.
I have taken a flight to Indonesia and can reassure Tom that it is possible to get a good hour of running in by visiting every gate of Singapore airport on the layover.
I perfected the art of running on the spot on the veranda of our safari lodge for hours on end rather than take my chance with the wildlife marauding outside.
I am still doing 5km every day eight years later, running on the spot, as I did on the cross-Channel ferry last week.
