What a week!

Was hoping to do another run this morning, weather is fine, running gear out and ready to put on. Decided I need to give my body a break. I hadn’t realised how much attending my lovely friends funeral on Friday had taken out of me! So tired 💤 after a good night’s sleep 🛌.!!

So sad and very emotional 😭. But a lovely tribute to her.

I am not wonder woman 👩, still having active cancer treatment and need to listen to my body. (Maybe this is my new normal!) must remember to pace myself. I am learning the theory, just need to perfect the practice.

Will do a spot of gardening 🧑‍🌾, just weeding really so will be getting a bit of exercise.

Plan to get back on my indoor bike 🚲 next week and then a run 🏃‍♀️ on Friday.

My Macmillan friends tell my to “be kind to myself “.

Happy Sunday to you all. 💕

Happy Sunday to you too.

Absolutely must listen to your body if it’s telling you to rest, and listen to your friends saying be kind to yourself. Life is physically exhausting sometimes but people don’t often recognise it can be mentally exhausting too.

Enjoy the the garden today and plan for your next run 😊

You are an absolute inspiration Angie09 in fact a bloody legend!

But even legends need rest!

Emotional stuff can take it out of us more than physically sometimes..

But you got it!... Be kind to yourself snd you can run when u feeling a bit more energy

You are definitely not Wonder Woman BUT you are giving her a good run for her money!
