I keep reading posts from folk here who are running through all sorts of adversity, whether it's illness/ injury/ work/ childcare/ mental health, or just life! I want to say that I am genuinely in awe of all of you. It puts me to shame for waiting until I retired and decided to have 'a bit of an adventure. '
Well done to all of you - I don't know how you do it, but you are an inspiration! πββοΈπββοΈπ π

What a beautiful post! I too waited for what I am calling my "gap year" but it is in practice semi retirement. So I second your congratulations and "Hats off" to all those busy people out there making time for their running. π
I am now...initially the stress went but I felt a bit lost. I realised there were elements of teaching I missed. We were lucky enough to have a few holidays planned. One was to Australia (so that fitted in with the tall tale of a gap year...not pack packing. π)
I tried painting/ drawing (never tried before), πΈdug a pond, grew veggies, did some book keeping / IT but I needed to get out of my head and thought I would return to running. π€I was very unimpressed about how unfit I had got. This programme just seems to give more focus and fits in with the new life style.π§πΌββοΈ
So it is a "work in progress" but I think putting your own personal development higher in your priority list can be counted a self preservation.
I think you/we are all inspiring, we are all here for one reason, improvement in life, and we ALL are prepared to fight for it, you could have retired and pur your feet up, but no you are doing this. Good on all of us!πββοΈ
