I iz still here!

Oh dear, its been a while hasn’t it…I am refusing to give you a 5 month, day by day, (*shameful*) update in long format.

And, I think its safe to say I failed and sucked at the post-a-day challenge big time…I started of so well, in fact I though I nailed it, but what was it….21 days?! SUCKED!

I recovered fully from my bells palsy, and I really hope that I can provide some hope to those that are going through the same thing.  I sincerely hope that if you are suffering right now you will recover quickly, as hard as it can be to do, do try to stay positive :)

After my episode with the Bells, I had a 3 day respite then I was hit with the winter vomiting bug!!  I was bed ridden for 1 week! Then my kids got it, which is strange in itself because it’s usually the kids sharing their germs! then another few days of respite then I got flu for 2 weeks.

So, it was safe to say that the first 7wks of the year SUCKED!

Now I am just being a normal busy, manic, mother and wife.

Oh…one good thing though, (HORRRAY!!) I started my physiotherapy (finally) on April 1st..you can catch up here as to why I needed Physio….I was basically given the go ahead to start running again in the new year, but to be honest it wasnt happening.  And now, 2 wks a go I am running again.  I have been advised to start from the beginning again, and was told to do the Couch to 5k program.

Reader, I scoffed, I scoffed loudly at therapist, I mean, who the frig do you think I am, a runner, who does around 40 miles a week and you are telling me to walk and run again for 1 mile…you having a larff!

I met physio half way and I am doing the couch to 10k program, still hate the fact that I am still walking and running but I hate to admit it, I am seeing a benefit to it.

I did my first 5k with my 7yr old daughter, for the Race For Life Cancer Research UK Charity, on May 8th..it took us 40 mins but I was fine with that, it was my first run for over a year and the first one my daughter ever did.

I am now signed up again to do the Baxters 10k, and the Aviemore 1/2…so back to full-time training soon.  I see the physio 2x a week, and am down for a review on June 3rd.  I was hopefully that this would be my last appt, but the therapist scoffed at me.

There seems to a mutual scoffing respect between physio and I.
