Exbury 10k


Well that was fun
1:17.54
I could have been quicker. I felt so strong.
Groin was sore after the race and my left glute area is still a bit sore and I had some discomfort during the race

But I'm also so pleased.

I'm feeling excited for the Swashbuckler standard tri on the 6/7
I'm also really pleased I've got a Lizzy massage booked for tomorrow 🤗

One year of restarting OF&H

Just bonkers!!!
I really must be kinder to myself 
Yesterday I swam 2k with tri club at the Quays
Today I ran 7.5k and cycled 10k (and went to find the poppies at Langley Vale) 
Basically I'm back trining 

This time last year I was clipped in for the first time since my accident and OWS first time since my accident.

I'm still not 100%
But I'm getting closer and closer

Walked home, 55mins, left hip/glute not happy

Okay. That's not right. I think I'll book to see a physio as my left glute shouldn't be bothered by a 55minute walk!!!

Talking to physio Amy she did mention that I may not get back to 100% where I was pre accident.
That had never crossed my mind.
I can understand now why solicitor Liz is keen to ensure I don't under settle as there is a chance Lizzie may not be able to go long 🙁

I'm very pleased I've got coach Emma and I do need to update solicitor Liz with some more expenses

Post accident parkrun pb

What a day yesterday
Oli and Tina's wedding
My post accident parkrun PB

35.16
And I would have chatted a lot more if Charlotte had remembered to bring her inhaler 🤣

Today I did my post parkrun run session
Just clicked on training / calendar and then today's session. Pressed start and did it. I'm loving figuring out how to manage to get all green ✅
Not there yet but soon xx

BMI finally saying not obese or overweight

1st time this millennia
1st time in decades 


I know it's just a number but it's a number I've been checking periodically for years so it's a good metric for me around where my body is 

The monjaro injection is amazing 
But the weird thing is that now I'm 66kg I'm thinking I'm still tubby, still got too much tummy so let's see if I can get into the low 60s and then reassess 

My accident was awful but the off shoots are very promising xx

Cycled up box hill

So much fun 

Now sat at Mum's, just back from C&R's BBQ - i'm tired, groin is a bit sore and my right glute is sore but I am delighted with today 

Fastest parkrun since my accident (Banstead this morning)
Cycled up box hill 
I am sore and tired but I am feeling rather epic 

Fastest parkrun since accident

Felt so strong at Banstead parkrun today 
I'm now 68kg so lost at least 4kg since January which is significant in running 

I did fade in the last km but pelvis / groin area still feeling good

Groin abit sore now 
Right glute abit sore as well
But that could be muscle fatigue from the 5k this morning 🤔🥳
