So pleased to be running again

I was diagnosed with early onset breast cancer in March, after two surgeries, and catching Covid in between, I managed a couple of short runs in July, and completed my radiotherapy in early August, and last week I managed three runs, 2km, 2.25km and 3km, but it is so good to be back, with my husband running by my side. We have taken it very slowly and I walked for a few meters when I felt tired but then carried on. I feel so much stronger and happier to be back out their running and enjoying life ☺️🏃‍♀️🏃

What a year you’ve had ☹️ Glad to hear you’ve been able to get back to running. I think it’s good for the mind and the body.

Thanks, I agree, mentally the last few months have been a struggle for both of us, so to be back out running is great.

Keep going.

Run while you can and enjoy one another's company.

Keep running, keep smiling.
