I stopped updating here mid last year, and having raised over £1,000 for I thought I owe you all an apology!
Where have I been? Am I still running? Will I be doing the rescheduled Birmingham half in October?
Early last year I had an operation to treat my endometriosis, which enabled me to run and exercise without pain (yay!)
However, when trying to train I was continually struggling to get enough oxygen in - long story and many appointments later and it turns out I have a *something* growing in my left sinus. They think it's benign but it literally fills my left airway, so it's got to come out!
As it turns out, breathing is good when trying to learn to run 🙈 I still managed to do the virtual Birmingham 10k, but after that, I pretty much stopped. I've been walking and yogaing (?) as much as I can, but running has been basically impossible.
So... Tomorrow is the big day. Nose tumour is coming out! Wish me luck!
After this, I'm hoping to start with couch to 5k again in March and then continue fundraising and working up to the Birmingham half. The rescheduled date is October 10th, which is actually my dad's birthday, so maybe it's a sign after all!
Oh, and if anybody fancies laughing at a woman as high as a kite, I do plan to live insta story as much of the day as possible tomorrow. So feel free to join me, it might well be a laugh 😂 my Instagram handle is also Chelsea runs for MNDA (I'm original like that!)
