Three to GDay

[Papillon17]

What can I say I have been awake for 35 hours without sleep, 27 of them looking after my mum of which 17 were in hospital. I have come home and gone and run my best Week 8 Run being number 3 thereby completing week 8. The body appears so resilient brushed away the cobwebs with only my music and Storm Freya for company. Just three to go.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Sorry about your mom Papillon17, I just hope that she gets better soon.

Congratulations to you for running in the company of Freya and your 🎶 music, run 3 of week 8, well done, onwards and upwards to week 9 and especially run 3, your graduation run.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Had to run to stay on schedule for 58 Birthday next weekend and to clear the cobwebs away. thank you for nice words but I am afraid it’s terminal and is only a matter of time. Trying to get care in place so she can be comfortable to the end. Good luck with your runs.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Papillon17]

Sorry about your mom but I know you will get her the best care possible, when you graduate you can dedicate your run to her.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks

[Pianism Graduate]

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Wow!

Hope your Mum is doing well.

Not the best prep for a run, but oh my god you nailed it! Superb job. Time for your victory lap... enjoy every moment of week 9.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

No sorry she is terminally ill. So making her as comfortable as can be.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Papillon17]

Yeah, sorry to hear that, I read an above reply and edited a bit out of what I’d put. I lost my mother 3 years ago, and all we can really wish for in these situations is comfort and family around. All the best, we will always be here for you.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you

[angelbetty Graduate]

What a way to finish W8! I can imagine the relief you might have felt when you were done. Freya probably did a number to help you along. I hope things go smoothly for you and your family in regard to your mum. Also congratulations for the upcoming birthday celebrations! Good luck for Week 9! Xx

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to angelbetty]

Thank you no Freya was a bit of a pain as no matter what direction I ran in she seemed to be blowing a bit like I was but wasn’t going to be beaten.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Very well done... the sadness of Mum's illness, has made this hard... but.. you ran, you let your body take you and maybe for a brief time you were uplifted.

The runs can do that...stay strong, and gently head towards that podium.. we will be waiting for the birthday boy xx

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you

[Dowat Graduate]

Well done for getting your run completed. Be proud of yourself. A difficult time for you and I hope your running will help you at this time. Look after yourself and aim for that Graduation 🎓 🏃‍♂️ run.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Dowat]

Thank you I intend to get there and enjoy Week Nine Run 1 tomorrow sometime

[Phoenix192 Graduate]

So sorry to hear about your Mum. My Dad had a severe downward turn back in January, fortunately the wheels of bureaucracy moved quickly for once and we were able to get him home and comfortable which made the inevitable much easier to deal with. Sending hugs x

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Phoenix192]

Thank you, in one of the best places now can have necessary treatment with professional care which we can’t provide 24/7 anymore managed to give her nearly 3 months more at home now we need a hospice, home or hospital to care for her. We knew it would come just not sure how long we would get.

[welsby1967 Graduate]

Hope all ok with your Mum, and good for you still getting out there - finish line is in sight xx

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to welsby1967]

Thank you thought I would feel worse but no it was a great stress reliever, me my music and Storm Freya.

[mummybowles Graduate]

Hope your mum is as comfortable as possible and surrounded by loved ones. Your running may help to cope just a little with all the stress and difficulty. Thinking of you

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to mummybowles]

Thanks Mummybowles stay focused and positive your runs will be better good luck

[Agelesslass]

Nice running, sorry about your poor mum though.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Agelesslass]

Thank you Agelesslass it comes to us all in time just didn’t expect it this way

[Whistle100]

Congratulations on your run! I’m just going into week 8, hoping I do as well as you.

I hope everything is peaceful for your mum. All the best to you both.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Whistle100]

Thank you Whistle100 enjoy Week 8 good luck

[Hidden]

You’re a champion! Sorry about your mum, wishing you strength to get through it all.💐💐💐💐💐💐

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you we will in one way or another

[Joster Graduate]

So sorry to hear about your mum, and well done you for keeping up with the running. You will rock week 9.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Joster]

Thank you will do

[orcadia Graduate]

Hope you get the right care in place for your mum - and for you, too. I just graduated just over a week ago - just after my Dad died. My Mum died last July. Running has truly saved my sanity. Hope it works for you too.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to orcadia]

Thanks Orcadia certainly giving me clear the head time.

[Greysixty Graduate]

So sorry to hear about your Mum. It’s not easy is it ? Well done you for keeping going . Good luck for the coming weeks. I’ve just done run 1 of week 9 but sounds like you may overtake me as life means a few days I can’t run this week. Your Birthday will probably be a bit bittersweet but try to enjoy both that and hopefully, graduation as well. X

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Greysixty]

Thanks Greysixty hoping to run Tuesday, Friday and Sunday to graduate

[JkBrauer]

Wat to go on your running but, you better go get some sleep before something happens to you. I am sorry about your mum.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to JkBrauer]

Thanks I have and will continue

[Granspeed Graduate]

Thinking of you this week. Hang in there.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Thanks Granspeed will do

[Lilianne]

Wow, well done you! Puts me to shame. Lilianne.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Lilianne]

If your doing this there is no shame. Keep at it and good luck.
