Health improvement

[Valentina98]

Hey everyone

So last week I volunteered as a I always do but rather than a barcode scanner I was a tailwalker, I took it nice and easy and really enjoyed it.

This week I did it again BUT not as a volunteer, I took part I walked a 5k

I did speak to the cardiac rehab team on Thursday if I could do it. They gave the okay. It's my last rehab next week so it was a brilliant way to look back at my progress

Time has just come through as 54:15 as someone who couldn't walk 5m a few weeks ago I'm so pleased with that time!

Hi V, I'm glad you posted this here !

I saw your post on the bridge to 10k running forum (also your previous one)

And wanted to reply , however after leaving the Admin team and having a disagreement with other admins on there I have been restricted so can't respond to anyone posts .

But wanted to say well done you 😁👍

Keep it up !

I'm currently re running the couch to 5k program and started week 5 this morning 🙂

I really hope you continue to improve and it will be great to hear you are running again, when ready of course .

Best wishes, Ian x

I've also restarted couch 2 5k after speaking with my Cardiac Rehab team I'm only at week 4 and I'm repeating it a few times until I know I can get to week 5 run 3

[Instructor57 in reply to Valentina98]

Hello

I just had to reply

Years ago in a different user name had another account I did Admin on the Anxiety sites and we perhaps did not agree all the time but how on earth as Admin did you managed to get restricted

Of course you don't have to answer but you did make me laugh as I thought this is a first surely but maybe not x

[Instructor57 in reply to BeKind28-]

In a moment of madness I put up a post with a few home truths !Perhaps not my wisest decision 🤣

Hower, I prefer to stick to my principles and not be a puppet for someone else's agenda

[BeKind28- in reply to Instructor57]

Hello

Well we all have those moments of madness me every day

Maybe not the wisest decision but you said what you needed to and the truth as you saw it and I believe in honesty so maybe you struck a few nerves as they say x

[Instructor57 in reply to BeKind28-]

I certainly did, and had loads of support through Private messages also

[BeKind28- in reply to Instructor57]

There you go then sounds like more were thinking the same they just did not have your moment of madness and posted it

But at least they won't forget you on there x

[JeremiahObadiah in reply to Instructor57]

Oh crikey. I’m sorry you felt unable to continue . I do hope the decision was yours and you have not been elbowed out. There are pitfalls and trip hazards of which those of us who just dip into these forums are blithely unaware !

[Instructor57 in reply to JeremiahObadiah]

Yes, it was my decision to leave the admin team , simply because I will not be part of their back door politics.It's a shame , but I prefer to stick to my principles, I just post now on Active 10, and occasionally on the marathon forum

Well done Valentina. Glad you are recovering well and enjoyed your walking 5k.

[Cee-Cee1]

What a really inspirational post to read on a Saturday morning! It makes me wonder how many others will read your lovely post and be inspired to exercise (me included!). Many congratulations on your achievements, it sounds as if you're well on the road to a hard-won recovery. Carol x😀

[Callie456]

That's awesome, well done!!!

[Cavalierrubie]

lt’s so good to hear what you are achieving after all you have been through. Congratulations. 👏👏👏

[BeKind28-]

Hello

Well done but I always have every faith in you x

[Valentina98 in reply to BeKind28-]

How are you doing?

[BeKind28- in reply to Valentina98]

Hello V

I have done another post if you can see it

Of course I am worrying though what else do I do x

[Valentina98]

I thought I said I was restarting it, but rehab team said I couldn't do week 5 yet.

[MummaSoap]

Hi V

That’s fab, well done you!!

You really are inspirational and I hope, once my symptoms have settled down again, that I will be able to follow in your footsteps and get myself fit too 😍

Keep us updated with how the C25K goes too please - I love a good news story 😁

Best wishes

Hurrah, Hurrah and Hurrah. Take it slowly and enjoy it. 🏃‍♀️

[Yumz199725]

Aw hi V so glad your cardiac rehab team gave you the green light to do the volunteering walk sounds like you took it at a good steady pace aswell well done! X

[Cruiser25]

Really pleased for you V. Forget the time, the boost to ones confidence can be immense, achieving something for 'you' I'm a bit torn today, as I bailed out of Parkrun, due to the heat...The old ticker didn't react to well to the heat a couple of weeks ago, so discretion being the better part of valour and all that, plus ( I suspect Thatwasunexpected'll get this) I struggle not to go for a new PB each time I go to Parkrun, I know I'm my own worst enemy!

Anyway, really made up for you & a little bit jealous 👍😜

[Prestwick]

Well done. Such great progress

[cappachina]

Well done You have done so well . My rehab has been put off twice due to my blood pressure becoming unstable causing faints Hoping to be able to start this week as it seems to be more settled on new meds

[Czech_Mate]

Great to read that, keep us informed on the progress. Here struggling with the heat today, but still plugging away carefully at the cycling.

[Gumbie_Cat]

Fantastic, well done!
