well..
anxiety has picked up last few days, yesterday took me nearly 3 hours before could face leaving my room. all too much and then depression in between as well. hope things improve its not helping my leg is taking a long time to heal so limited on running etc at the moment and my old back injury is bad too, although a new bed arriving soon which hopefully will help as ortho mattress (that's me in debt!), needed this for a while as I'm always going to have this back injury.


hope happier post next time

Hi
I read a post on the Helly Hansen facebook wall about their support for "Segelrebellen" or "Sailing rebels", a German non-profit organization, makes it their goal to support young adults who suffer from cancer.

more details can be found over there but worth supporting I think

just something I thought worth sharing

2 mile jog in the rain(16:43), and let down by person I was supposed to run with they asked then no show and not even a text! annoyed......

Monday 5 October 2015

bit speedier today on the 3miler (24:50) 2 slower laps with a 7:46 mile in between which felt ok too! also I finally did a feedback session I needed do for some depression treatment I've had I find these difficult as they make me feel worse as just remind me of all my problems...

so done some things today, have a good day all

well done Australia and Wales to both through the group stage in the rugby world cup

Firstly well done Japan in the rugby great performance!
I stuck with 3 miles jog today and deliberately slowed pace(26:30) speeded up yesterday and I need keep it slower for a while,as heal up. hard to keep pace down sometimes as feel ok and want let my legs go! but soon as gets a little too much get twinge and a reminder drop speed down and heal!

being able to jog again has helped a lot with my mood, just gives me that breathing space when depression and anxiety builds up.

off to my tv to watch rugby again!
