I was doing so well on working towards this goal – registered and trained for this weekend, supersprint, and was making the distance. Then a month ago I got ill – and I’ve spent most of the last month in hospital. I feel so flabby and tired all the time now, and really fed up that my training (and entrance fee) went to waste.
On the other hand, I came through two bouts of surgery with minimal fuss, something I couldn’t have done a year ago when I was still smoking and more overweight. And yesterday I started back into training – I walked up a hill .75km above sealevel, a distance of 12 miles. (I don’t feel so good today physically!)
It’s so hard to pick up after six months of real health struggle. I feel middle aged and that it’s always one difficult step forward then three slips backwards. (Is this what ageing is?)
Don’t want to fight; don’t want to go back to work; don’t want to exercise; just want to sit and eat chocolate and watch TV. I have been out of hospital for 6 days now; I’ve done lots of useful work around the house and walked a lot. But I don’t WANT to do this I want to slob about.
