week 6 r1 (the end of procrastination!)
whit whoo managed to do the run, against the odds of a week off, far too much alcohol, rubbish diet and mardy procrastination! I hummed and haaa'd then headed out, it was boiling, I was boiling, the 8 mins felt like forever, nearly gave up, pep talk with myself through the 3 min walk, and away I went

Bank Holiday Birthday Bonanza!
I'd mentioned in my last post that I really struggled with one of my runs in May because I had a cold. I just about managed a 15 min run instead of my usual 30. I thought I was feeling better but I actually ended up being seriously disappointed as the next two runs petered out as well (20 mins and 15

IT IS JUST STRESS
I was at the doctor today for my thyroid results. My FTF4 TT4 results I cannot remember the exact figures were normal but at the lower end. The doctor said the other results were OK but she didn't have the figures but they must be OK because a box had been ticked. I was in tears I have also recently

Having a PEG fitted
My Father in Law has PSP but because he had Neuropathic problems previously we do not know how long he had it before he was told he also has PSP. Is there a way of knowing what stage of the illness he is at. At the last meeting with the specialist he recommend and that he had a PEG fitted. I have a

Gone as far as having to see a 'shrink'
I put a blog on here quite a few weeks back when I was at my lowest. I won't repeat it all again save to say that last year I went through a pregnancy termination with my girlfriend who then left me. I found out that she has now moved on and met someone else recently and it has utterly smashed me.

Week 2/Run 3 - The First Bad One.
Hi all, just hoping for a bit of a vent and hopefully a pep talk here. I just finished my last run of week 2 - a really bad one. I had to stop twice with really bad stitches and breathlessness and struggled to make it to the end of the 90 seconds on each run. I wasn't able to switch off and enjoy it

W9/R2 phone app vs iPod app
Well graduation is in sight, only one run to go :) But back to my heading, I have for the past 12 weeks been using my phone which is great at mapping my run and giving me all the stats but the encouraging voice of Laura is definitely lacking for instance my last run consisted of warm up, run, half way

Being a parent with pain
It was hard enough when they were really small and I had numerous days of "one of mummy's bad face aches". CBeebies was a regular baby sitter, though they seem to be none the worse for it. They are more independent as they grow, though still rely on me for a lot of things. At least they can safely

PUPPP / PEP / itchy rash
I have had itching all over my body, except feet, hands and face, for about the last three weeks. It started off without any rash, which was concerning in case it was Obstetric Chlorestasis, but two blood tests do not indicate any cause for concern in that respect, thankfully. However, the itch is getting

PTSD
I have been living with PTSD for a year now due to being involved in a traumatic incident experienced in the course of my job. My employer is now sending me for EMDR therapy which seems to be helping with the symptoms but which is also causing more anxiety. Anyone out there experienced this?

I Need Help Sleeping
Since leaving ICU in May last year I have had trouble sleeping. My doctor's surgery has a no sleeping pill policy and have suggested lying still and emptying the mind and willing my self to sleep. This is not possible for someone with PTSD. I have tried Kalms & similar products, but nothing. Can

W5 R3 - I did it!
Well tonight was the run I've been dreading - the big 20 minutes. My journey home from work did nothing to help as we got stuck on the tube in a tunnel for 25 minutes as someone had got on to the tracks and was just standing there! All the power got switched off and we had to wait for the police
