Off to the Quays this morning to the mobile breast screening van and my appointment.
I gave myself an hour so I could have a stop at my x3 identified rest stops / aid stations
The wall by the garage on Queensway
The seat by Holyrood church and the QE2 anchor
St. Michael's square
Made it to the Quays in just over 57minutes
40minutes was walking time
17minutes resting
I was on my own but Katherine was following me on what's app location share so I did feel as if I was being checked on 🥰 (made me feel safe)
It was the same moving time back home but this time I sat in the Simmel Street community garden for awhile
I'm delighted seeing as just under 6 weeks ago I could barely lift my leg and could manage maybe 6 steps with a Walker. So a 2km round trip that I walked on my own is pretty mind blowing!!
It's also wow you walked one measly little kilometre and it took you 40minutes plus 17minutes of rest and then you had to rest at Cenos at the Quays for a good 30-40minute before you walked one kilometre home.
The bar is set so low yet I'm also celebrating every time I reach it. I'm recovery physically but I'm also having to recover mentally. It's all very odd and I don't have the language yet to fully explain to myself how I'm feeling with it all xx
Pics of feeling epic on my walk 🥳
