Marathon

Hi everyone. I know we are all on our own journey and I personally only dip in here from time to time.

I’m 51 and was diagnosed 2 years ago. Mum of 2 age 8 and 13 I have been through the range of emotions.

I just wanted to put a positive spin on things and to encourage everyone to think positive.

In April I ran London Marathon. I started running at 48 and decided pbc was a reason to carry on to prove to myself my body was capable or positive things.

I am so proud of my medal. Keep the faith everyone xx

Congratulations.

On so many levels...

Firstly, well done on your achievement of the London marathon but also congratulations are due for your approach and your strength of character. Yes, PBC is an individual journey but I hope many are inspired by what can happen.

Yours,

Robert.

Congrats!!! Such a great achievement.

I tried to up my running last Summer & all I ended up with was a knee injury which showed a stressed fracture as well. Took months to heal plus rehab.

I am back to exercising 5x a week, but not doing anything crazy or intensive. Low impact cardio workouts & strength training.

Fantastic acheivement and thank you for sharing we all love positive stories.
