Notes

Running still helps me to 'beat the Demons' of the past. 1st of April today. Last year I had my foot in a cast and the year before exactly the same time I was admitted to hospital due to a serious infection on foot bunion and possible operation. It was exactly 16 days before the BM that I came out of hospital. How can I forget the 1st of April? But I did the BM and I am still here running and planning.

So, today despite lower back issues / stiff neck I went out there after whole 12 days to try my luck again. Running after all is my medication. Today was not just about body but spirit and soul. I needed this balance to get me going. My back gave me some niggling on the way and two miles in my run but eventually left me to carry on whilst neck prevened me from turning to the right. It does still hold badly. CS mild and just a couple of shooting pains just to remind me 'that I am better but still here with you'.

5 whole miles I am delighted with and what else can I ask? Franc is getting better too. It has been a tough time for both of us but we are seeing the light one way or another we must and shall get there.

As for me once again I take nothing for granted. I will always be grateful to God for all I can do and will do. It is a Thank You for Life.

But Days like today once again reminds me how much I LOVE RUNNING. It is the most beautiful feeling in life to be able to Run Free from the inside and just watch the universe around you in balance. You then exist in a different sphere and zone. Nothing else can give me that but Running.
