Staying safe and looking to the future!!

Saturday, like many others I found my Xmas plans were cancelled so I won’t get to see my children or grandchildren as they are all in Tier 4. Was so upset when my little granddaughter who is 21 months came on WhatsApp and said “Nanny, knock door, dog, please”. But I remind myself we are all healthy and so far my son’s jobs are safe but have to say this morning just couldn’t drum up enthusiasm in the rain to run my planned 5K but I set out anyway and instead I did a shorter run but managed to run up all the really steep bits (which I haven’t done since returning from the IC) so time well spent I think. When I got back Ellie rang me again and said “love you Nanny” life is precious so I am going to keep myself as healthy as possible so when we are allowed we can spend many years enjoying each other’s company!!

Well done. Keep safe, keep healthy, keep running. There will be an end to this, in the meantime keep adding those kilometres. Happy running 🤗

Sounds like lots of us are in a similar place emotionally right now. It's important to reflect and realise what matters most. You are so right - life is truly precious.

Here's to a much better 2021

Keep running PHdgranny, better times will come, we are going to be so excited when we finally get to see our children and families again. 🤗🎄
