Work is rather sad at the moment, one of our ladies passed away yesterday,

I was off thursday and we took a colleague to collect a car she bought, i woke feeling unwell so once we’d done what we agreed i did nothing

Friday housework laundry etc

Today after work we ran, just half hour, i’d actually forgotten how painful it is running on psoriasis blisters, Willow disappeared in the distance, the park was too busy so along the side of the golf course around the lake and it was getting dark, I knew there were some holes somewhere and peered at the ground as i plodded on, half hour done, joined Williw in the car and home to the smell of beef roasting i the oven that is put in as i got home from work, so after a disastrous run that was slower than slow, at least dinner will be good

Happy weekend all

So sorry about one of your ladies passing away yesterday, running should relieve the stress a little for you W&S, a reasonable run for you apart from the blisters, that meal of roasting beef sounds delicious, I am sure you enjoyed it after that hard run.

Thanks Al, meal enjoyed and looking forward to our next run which may be tomorrow as 3 k hasn’t stretched our legs much, working weekends is a pain but makes the non working ones more precious

Well done....At least you got out there, which didn’t sound very comfortable at all, but I’m sure the exercise you managed to do made that roast beef taste all the more delicious 😋

It actually did, it’s been a strange week health wise but will get happy runs again

Take care, sounds like a tough week. It was good to be gentle with yourself on your run.

Hi W&S...what a rough week you've had, how sad about your colleague. Hope the run helped you, despite the psoriasis blisters...they sound painful! Ouch! You'll have had that delicious roast beef dinner by now...and should be chilling 😁😁. The run may have felt disastrous....but you got out there, well done.👍❤️🏃‍♀️🙋🐢🐌

Oh I am so sorry for your loss, that is very sad. May They Rest In Peace.

What a hard week you have had. Massive well done for you getting out there and running, I hope it made you feel better.

Ouuuch that sounds really painful bless you, can you use the Compeed plasters on them or do they need to be left uncovered?

Be kind to yourself and remember how amazing you are.

Yummy, I hope you enjoyed your roast dinner.

Take care

Thank you, i use compeed plasters if it’s areal blister but these are just patches of tiny blisters that itch like mad until they go sore, but lots of moisturiser and they aren’t too bad

Oh bless Googled them to have a look! Have not seen before.

Hope you have had a lovely day

I’ve only had them 2 years and they aren’t bad, last year they were awful and i hobbled around in agony all swollen and sore but now i seem to have got the hang of keeping them under control

I’m sorry it’s been a tough week for you W&S, making it all the more impressive that you got out for your run - you did well and I hope it helped 🤗.

At the time it didn’t help, tell everyone to stay home and they go to the park, but actually it was ok by the time we got out, it might be time for us to part ways, Willow won’t run alongside the road and i love the feeling of going somewhere rather than round and round, and as long as we start together and come home together we can run in different places 😀
