Yay!!!!

Well, good news occurring, for some at least...... We can exercise as long as we want outside from tomorrow.  I'm planning my first long run later in the week, after eight weeks of short-trying-to-keep-to-an-hour sessions. The prospect of bumbling along for longer, has made me hugely happy.

I am not sure when /if  we will race again this year : that does not bother me : it was the restrictions on everyday training that was making me feel claustrophobic. But this has been nothing, compared to the awful experiences many families have lived through, in the last few weeks.

I am sorry that the limits are still imposed  on major sporting fixtures for the foreseeable future, and am hoping that ways around this will be found. It will make a lot of people very happy to see their football / cricket / rugby clubs back in action again,

Hopefully somehow, soon.

The intensity of dealing with some of the consequences of this pandemic, have exhausted me.

Roll on the long run. Keep going.

Keep going, keep going, keep going

I think next week we will start to see changes announced to what has become one of the biggest endurance events many of us will experience.
The Uk's death rates have been huge, the victims and families at the forefront of our minds always.

Please keep going. For us, lucky enough not to be personally affected by this virus : we are nearly there. The pressure will start to relieve soon. Life will be hugely different, but we will do this.

Missing a few races is nothing, compared to what some people are experiencing. Changing our daily habits , is a small price to pay. We can do this. And there is light on the horizon.

Two things have made me unbearably proud throughout this : working for the NHS on the 'frontline', and watching two small people in my life become the most resilient, uncomplaining, accepting individuals I have ever come across. So impressed, so proud with it all.

We're nearly there. Keep going, keep going, keep going.
