Overtaken by a Butterfly : 40 Years of Running into Trouble

"I sank to my knees in despair. Incredibly, despite being in a tropical jungle I was cold, really cold.I was shivering from head to foot. The adrenaline that had brought me this far had finally run out and I collapsed to the ground. And that's when I was attacked.”Running and flying the world for over 40 years was finally coming to an end.During that time, I had become the World's most experienced Boeing 747 Captain.I had combined my flying with running the equivalent of a marathon every week for four decades.My flying career was at an end. Running had been a passion that had taken me into places and situations that were both exciting and dangerous.I could no longer fly the 747 but at least I was still young enough to run as fast as I ever could. And then I was overtaken by a butterfly.
