I hate running when I’m not fit. It’s unpleasant and I really struggle.

But I love running when I am fit. I feel like I’m on an adventure, and I can go forever.

So when I’ve been out of it for a while, and haven’t been able to exercise for whatever reason, there is a tough battle to get back in.

And the longer I wait, the worse it gets.

The first run after my shoulder surgery was horrible. I barely managed 2km.

But a year later I ran a marathon.

It takes an extra push to get you back in. And friends can help you over the hurdle. That first 2km run was with Bridget. And today I ran for the first time in two months with Mike.

It’s tough. But once you’re back in, it’s worth it.


Guess what? Today’s image was from the prom again. I know, I know. It’s getting repetitive. But I love the place so much. And so… enjoy this picture of tonight’s sunset 🙂
