I discovered this great animation on Twitter, my good colleague Bill Boyd had ReTweeted it. I’m currently training for a half marathon and each time I run I go through a journey, ups and downs, weather, mental walls and good music to keep me going.

This wonderful animation appears to be sponsored by Nike and quite honestly, I can say that my Nike iPod plus has got me through some tough runs, so I have an appreciation of the sports company.

The genius work of James Jarvis and his animation site can be located here, another reason why I found it so enjoyable was it reminded me of childhood books like Jan Pienknowski, Richard Scarry and maybe a little bit of Dr Seuss.

I’m always preparing materials for presentations about health and wellbeing, I always like to use funny clips and images to illustrate the way values and attitudes have changed over the last century. I just had to post this clip, which is for me one of the entertaining retro adverts for a game ever produced. Take one minute of your day to have a giggle. Enjoy!
