Long post alert!!! You can keep scrolling if you want, its fine😊

So, there I was, trotting along the edge of a field, giving the geese a wide berth (said good morning to them obviously!), thinking how lovely the world can be....with Starship singing 'Nothings gonna stop us now' in my ear.....and I decided ...nothing IS going to stop me now....nope, not even illness. I had a think, I've beaten the poorliest chest I've ever had, (maybe covid, maybe not...who knowsπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ)...after months of being unwell, it's left me with asthma (or some such?). My sinus problems are constant and annoying...and quite often painful. I've managed to get a bout of bursitis in my knee...doing yoga of all things....I'm still overweight...( I'm working on it honestly!😁)....I just turned 49😳, I'm just after restarting C25K for the third time.....I did graduate first time roundπŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. My medicines bag is ever more stuffed with.....well medicine......but.....but, I'm here, I'm alive......all of the people I love are safe ( as far as I know❀).........and I can run.......yep, won't be pretty, or elegant, and certainly never quick......but I CAN run......and right now that's enough πŸ₯°πŸ˜Š. I know you all know what I mean!πŸ˜‰πŸ˜

Great post! Good on you for getting our there despite the health challenges. So much of this running malarkey is a mental challenge just as much as physical. We can do it and you are proving that. Keep going!
