A typical conversation with him after a club or time trial run would go like this:</p> <p>Graham: “Well done! How far did you run?”</p> <p>Me: “Just 5 (or whatever other distance) km today.”</p> <p>Graham: “It is never JUST 5 km! Well done!”</p> <p>But it gives me great pleasure to say that today’s run was JUST 21 km (actually it was a few hundred metres short, but let’s not get stuck on technicalities). The word “just” means that I have worked so hard that I can claim 21 km as being well within my capabilities. I have the fitness, the strength and the endurance to run 21 km, it is only my right foot that is holding me back on pace — and that I am trying to work on as best I can.</p>
