I was invited as guest of honour to the 25th anniversary of Seaford striders which is where I met Tom. He said very nice things about my 'few words' at the dinner in his blog and in an e mail exchange following this arranged to meet to record a podcast. Tom is amongst other things an observer and commentator on life. He writes an excellent blog which had made Andy aka 'doctorpod' and I laugh out loud. The day that he was coming for our 'podcast philosophique' as it transpired to be, Tom had been enjoying and writing about 'The spirit of Schubert' which was a series on radio 3 and on our podcast day it was Schubert the Wanderer, which was very fitting way to herald a podcast on running and the bigger 'wandering journey' therein.

It was very enjoyable interviewing Tom, his dry self effacing humour only slightly hid his intense curiosity and passion for life which appears to inform his desire to connect through the written word and as a social media voice for both the running and sailing club. Sharing himself through his own running journey connects us all, because if we run we know that it is a journey that never ends keeping us engaged wondering where it will lead us to next? Tom's blog reflects this perfectly...
