It was an amazing feeling to run together with my son. The distance was not big, the pace was not fast and yet this is one of my most memorable runs. What a joy. I think you can only appreciate running alongside your children when you know the effort required to raise them from the first-hand experience. I often hear people talking of ‘making an impact’ in the context of their work. To me this sounds rather narrow minded. Running alongside my children is the kind of difference I want to make in my life. It is bigger than any ‘work’.
