A tough 3km

[BaddieThePirate]

I ran yesterday. By the time I’d got where I needed to be I’d done 3km. The whole thing felt difficult. I didn’t continue, but I did do more than my 5 mins warm down walk, and had a little explore. I think I might be having a flare as I’m losing sleep due to pain, but I’m back on full whack meds 🙄 I also need to sort my diet out, I’ve been really bad lately. I harvested runner beans (good omen), courgettes, red onions and spuds today, so that’s a good start to eating better. Note to self: must buy less sugary stuff.

Sorry you aren’t feeling too good Baddie, but the harvest from your allotment will keep you on track with healthy eating. I can visualise ratatouille there - great with pasta 😋

Sometimes runs just feel a bit rubbish…and hard…but know this…you’re not alone…we all have times when it just feels so hard we wonder what’s going on…but it sounds like you know why & you’re doing something about it!! That’s a great harvest right there…that’ll be gorgeous roasted or stir fried…I’m on my way …

Beans, beans, are good for your heart… and that monster is a courgette, not a marrow. I’m going to cook it like stuffed marrow though. Dinner’s at 6.

I hear you BaddieThePirate I had a God awful incomplete run on Sunday - first one post-grad which made it feel an even worse failure - and then another one this morning where I only just managed a full 30 minute run, but my legs felt like lead right the way through and my painful calves have also made an unwelcome return 😞

I've gained a few pounds back over the past 3 weeks and am now obese rather than overweight again. I really needed a good kick in the butt to get back on track, so I was almost pleased to see your post (sorry mate!) as it's given me the incentive I needed to get back on it, so thank you very much🙏

I'm so sorry you are not well just now - I wish you a rapid return to better health. Keep on keeping on!!

It’s obviously something in the air. We will both get through it. Thanks for your post. Good to be in this together 👍

That's quite a harvest Baddie, hope it tastes as good as it looks! Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, hope the meds and the veggies help you out. I know when I'm not sleeping well, it feels like I'm running through treacle. 💕

Treacle. Yum!
