Up at 0550 this morning because I have to go on a course today, so I need to leave the house a bit earlier than usual. I don't care how much of a pillock I look in my spandex...I needed it this morning!! I stepped out of the house and a wall of cold just hit me, it was freezing!!
I was around the three miles in 26 minutes 57 seconds, an average of less than 9 minutes a mile, so again I am pleased with that. Two more 3 milers to go before the first 7 miler, not only of this training plan, but of my life!! Not sure if I'm looking forward to that!!
I went to the North Surrey branch of the MS Society yesterday and met with Allan and the gang and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone there for making me feel so welcome, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you all and you have inspired me even more to succeed in the run.
From some of my conversations yesterday, I realised just how unpredictable it can be with MS. Not knowing whether they will have the energy to do the things that other people take for granted, or whether they will be feeling pains today, or numbness, or whether they should change their medication? But things that everyone had in common yesterday were a smile, a laugh and a fighting spirit...and they were inspirational. One new friend said to me that he doesn't like talking about MS because he doesn't want to get down about it, he wants to stay as upbeat as he can...so hopefully reading about my pain and suffering will raise a smile or two ;) Haha!
