Better run today-even against the wind!!!

Second time of trying to write this. First time I let the phone slip and accidentally deleted everything I’d just written

After my phone appointment with my Dr yesterday where she decided to refer me to the Upper GI dept at our local hospital, with a view to getting my horrible kidney cyst either aspirated or removed altogether. Yay!! I’ll be glad to see the back of it!!! She has also given me a new prescription to help with the pain when my hip plays up AND she also thinks that possibly my cyst has been pressing upwards on my diaphragm, which could have been causing my breathing issues. So a good outcome all round!!

So I decided I needed a new plan for my running issues and this morning I went out deciding to slow things down and run in 10 minute bursts with 60secs of walking between. Well it worked, nothing fast, nothing too pretty... but I ran 5k... although it took 45 minutes. It was a gorgeous morning ( apart from the blustery wind) and as I ran I decided to turn off my usual route and ran up a little country lane.

I’d spotted it a couple of times and wondered where it went so today I thought I’d find out. It was a little lane, 1 car wide, with a couple of pretty little cottages dotted along here and there and then a little small holding at the end. There were loads of spring flowers peeping through the sprouting greenery so I was thinking I’d take pics on the way home. I finished my 5k and then started walking back home again taking a few pics as I went.

That sounded like the perfect antidote to your last run! I am sure it will be massively reassuring that your health issues are going to get sorted out as well. All sounding positive for you - hope you are sorted soon.
