Running is lifting whatever you were worried about when you left home, to a place of almost insignificance by the time you catch your breath. I found this view from the grass lying below a flight path.

Fact: Because Heathrow is so busy, most planes coming into land at Heathrow wait in ‘holding stacks’. The stack acts as a waiting room, allowing air traffic controllers to efficiently organise planes for landing. There are four stacks around Heathrow called Bovingdon, Lambourne, Ockham and Biggin. The UK Government sets their locations and they have been in the same places since the 1960s.
