I’m Back!

Sooooo. This time last year there was an escalating work situation (a nasty stalker). Some weeks in ICU with my mother. Husband’s redundancy. Several lockdowns. Etc etc. It all went pear-shaped. I sat watching Boris announce the first lockdown and sobbed like he was announcing the end of the world. In a way, I suppose he was announcing the end of the old world...

But here I am again, a year on, a stone heavier but back to Week 1 run 1.

And.... Stalker was fired. Mum was discharged in better state just as Covid lockdown hit so escaped hospital infection nightmare. Husband packed for Amazon before finding another IT position. We got vaccinated last week. And the sun is shining.

2020 was the worst year ever but I’m still standing and about to start running again. Off I go... 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

That's a lot to cope with Tulipcat - wishing you a brighter 2021 and a happy return to running!

oh dear so glad your Mum got better , your husband found a new job, and the stalker got fired. You did have a rotten time of it, but sounds like you are over the worst - heres wishing you a much better 2021. Keep on looking at the glass half full!!
