Hey š I am back!
Itās been a bit mad lately so a mini update where I will try not to over share, something Iām a little too good at š¬
I am accepting that sometimes things just donāt line up, no matter how hard you try and with that Iāve made the decision to pull out of Brighton Marathon š„²
The past few weeks havenāt gone to plan. Iāve been ill, missed some key runs, and something bigger has come up at home thatās made me realise where my energy needs to be right now.
Separate to that I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which Iām still learning to understand and manage. Itās explained a lot, especially why training and recovery has felt harder than I was used to. Iām now trying to work with my body not against it.
Dropping out of the marathon is frustrating, but itās the right call. This isnāt quitting, itās perspective and running will always be there. I will šÆ be signing up to another run at a later date.
The main reason for this post is that I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported and donated to Alzheimerās Society. It genuinely means a lot, and this is still a cause very close to me. So many of us will be affected by dementia at some point in our lives, whether thatās a friend, grandparent, parent, or someone close to us.
Raising awareness around this matters, not just understanding the disease, but also learning how we can better support our own brain health over time.
This is something I feel strongly about, not just because of what weāve experienced as a family, but because I want to look after my own brain, and help you do the same.
More on that soon. š§
For now, I am back to lifting weights, learning to support my hormones and health, building as much muscle as I can and feeling my best for those that matter most ā„ļø
Sometimes what feels like failure is just a nudge to put your energy in the right place. šŖš»
