So after 5 towns / cities 3 airports (one x2) 1 cancelled flight 1 missed connection 2 accommodations a cancelled taxi and a car hire whilst stranded in Italy with my disabled sister and elderly mother plus 2 missed work days and a lot of expense I am finally home! Exhausted ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น I am a week behind now on my running and didnโ€™t get in til 1am and Iโ€™ve had no sleep for days - I so wasnโ€™t feeling this run but after a day of avoidance I decided that if I didnโ€™t do it now I never would so I went out and smashed it! Iโ€™m so chuffed with myself! ๐Ÿ˜€ I thought Iโ€™d lost it there for while! ๐Ÿ‘ back in the game!

Good grief!

That does sound awful.

So good to hear that you managed to pick up again after all that and kick start the programme.

That doesnโ€™t sound like the relaxing holiday we wish for. Running is definitely the way to get it out of your system. Well done!

Good work. Sometimes a run is just the thing we need after a heap of adversity. Catharsis in trainers.
