I'm sorry you had to do it because of chemo but I'm glad you like it. I loved the feel of it being really short... might go there again as the weather gets warmer.
It was pretty wild here overnight (South Yorks) and we were only just into the yellow warning area. About to get up and see if I have to retrieve anything from anywhere outdoors.
Strange anniversary today - six months ago, I woke up quite tired on a Sunday, having helped to arrange and taken part in a big singing event the day before. I was in the midst of a marathon training plan so I persuaded myself to 'be tough' and head out anyway for what was meant to be a 16 mile run. I'd had a few twinges in my ankles but they usually eased off once I warmed up. I pushed through to about four miles, when I realised I really didn't feel right and had to turn round - breathing was odd, my ankles were having shooting pains and I felt horrifically lightheaded and anxious - I remember thinking "something is really wrong here". Eventually made it home (a bus drove past me at the stop, I eventually got my sweaty, horrible, dizzy self into a taxi) and spent the rest of the day boiling hot and so, so achy. Two days later I'd never felt so ill, and thought I'd better test for COVID... and here we are now. Debating whether I'll manage the ten minute walk round the block today.
I do now think I'd had it more mildly earlier in the year and then some post-viral stuff going on for months (some of it got put down to peri menopause, then I had a bad reaction to progesterone 🙄 - some of it I thought was anxiety that I had to push myself through), then the October one really was the tipping point. Trying very hard not to think "what if" because it's not helpful!
