19th March -week 2/run 2

Today has been a bit of a busy day. I started off with a counselling appointment which was so good. It felt really good to be able to have a bit of a rant and complain. It was refreshing. After counselling I went and did the couch to 5k run with my sister. Today wasContinue reading “19th March -week 2/run 2”

Thursday 18th March

Today has been an okay day. I was on a morning shift at work, felt tired and exhausted but got through the shift. I came home and desperately needed a nap so took a nap. Slept a little but I felt cold and couldn’t warm up. After my nap, we had a pasta dinner. ItContinue reading “Thursday 18th March”

Wednesday 17th March

Today was a good day in context. I didn’t sleep well last night and woke up feeling rough, tired and pretty low. I had my planned phone call with the Doctor about my arm, I really hoped to go in and see someone in person but I was feeling pessimistic about it because it’s hardContinue reading “Wednesday 17th March”

Week 2 Run 1

Today we did the first run of week 2 of Couch to 5K. And it went quite well. We’ve managed to get the local village hall to do our runs in for the time being. It helps my sister, she’s not anxious as there’s nobody around and it’s just us. It also helps me toContinue reading “Week 2 Run 1”

Tuesday 16th March

As I said this morning, today hasn’t been a great day. I’m in pain with my hEDs, and I’m exhausted. So today has mainly been a rest day, with the exception of going to work for a few hours. On top of the hEDs, I’ve got a reaction to the covid vaccine. I had heContinue reading “Tuesday 16th March”

Pain

I suffer from Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It’s in a very mild form, and I realise a lot of people suffer with it a lot more than I do. This morning I’m in a lot of pain. I’ve woken up with really bad pain in my knees and I don’t feel like I can do much.Continue reading “Pain”

Monday 15th March – Run #3

Today was run 3, the final run of the first week of Couch to 5k. It was a really tough run today. We struggled quite a lot. It was cold. The lake we run around was really busy with people, and me and my sister became very self conscious. My sister didn’t want to carryContinue reading “Monday 15th March – Run #3”

March 14th 2021

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! And thoughts to those that have a struggling relationship with their mums, those whose mums aren’t here any longer, or just anybody that struggles with Mother’s Day in general; I understand it because I struggle with this day too. I’ve had a lovely day off workContinue reading “March 14th 2021”

Saturday 13th March

So firstly, I’d like to point out that I realise yesterday’s post was titled the 11th when it was actually the 12th… oops! This morning I woke up feeling quite low and anxious. I had to go to work, and I’m really not enjoying it right now. I got up, watched some TV and thenContinue reading “Saturday 13th March”

Friday 11th March 2021

Today felt like a good day in the end. It started off feeling low, exhausted and tired. I had no motivation to do anything. But I did things. I spoke to my counsellor and really let out some steam with her. Then I went to my mums to drop off a Mother’s Day card andContinue reading “Friday 11th March 2021”
