Hello all Ive had an ok week, trying to keep myself on an even keel, easier said than done. I want to move on with life but I don’t want to wish away even a second of it. Running has been very up and down depending on where I am in the chemo cycle, a week ago I was crying because it felt so hard but on Friday I ran 8.5miles. I was slow but that doesn’t matter I did the distance and it felt good (apart from being very tired!) I am harbouring thoughts of completing the Cardiff Half at the end of this month. I love that race, I’ve done it so many times and the thought of not doing it makes me feel like someone who is ill, vulnerable, but the thought of being able to do it makes me feel strong and empowered. I am going to try and run 10-11 miles on Friday and if I feel ok on the day I will do it. If it was any other half marathon I would pull out but this is different. We had a really nice night out at a friends house last night. It was good to see my husband laughing and cracking jokes with friends, he has a great sense of humour. I worry he hasn’t done enough socialising over the last year. It is our 25th Wedding anniversary on 14th so we are going away for a couple of nights in Gloucestershire at the weekend, not in the camper, I thought 25 years deserved a bit of luxury! Re the camper I’m going to have a small party in a couple of weeks to show her off to all of our friends. Just a few hours on a Sunday afternoon a bit of fizz, sandwiches and some homemade brownies, keeping it simple. Planning it is keeping me occupied and something to look forward to. I think in my head it is the anniversary party that we would have had if I hadn’t been going through this, but I haven’t said that to anyone. Well it is 12:30 so I think I should make the effort to get out of bed now!! I hope everyone is keeping themselves well, getting through their difficulties and getting the most enjoyment from life that they can xxx
