run bike swim beat cancer

Sunday morning, I woke up with a hangover !! well…that’s what it felt like – I’m not sure you can get a hangover from ginger-ale and tea !? I’d had to get up at 1am for an unscheduled trip to the toilet (Imy had obviously worn off), and woke up with a thumping headache and I’d lost my voice !!? that’s a new one – maybe from blethering so much the night before.

Persistently raining again, so I layered up and put my wellies on for marshalling at the Templeton 10-mile race. I was at the Pink Cottage, which disappointingly is no longer pink

All went well, although I was pretty useless at encouraging the runners with my squeaky little voice !! It was great to see more friendly faces and to help out. I managed to go home with a pile of cake :-))) (will run / marshall / whatever for cake😁).

In the afternoon I walk / jogged up and back to my Mums for a cuppie – it felt really nice and I made sure not to get out of breath :-)) 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️

We had a Chinese for tea – I managed to eat chips, some chicken fried rice and some chow mein – not too much, but I really enjoyed it :-))

But – yes – you’ve guessed it – 20 minutes later :-(( back on the double strength Imodium However, afterwards I had a full night sleep and didn’t wake up today with a ‘hangover’ :-))

Unfortunately, breakfast today (v. small bowl of cereal) didn’t go down well – more Imodium, and I had to make an emergency stop on the way up for my DEXA scan this morning – if anyone saw me stopped in the layby on the main A92 between Dundee and Arbroath…that’s what I was doing – I got a nettle sting on my bum too hahahahaha !

(luckily, I had emergency kit with me, and thankfully didn’t need the spare trousers or underwear !!! got to be prepared)

The DEXA scan is to check for osteoporosis, which I had / have ? from probably doing too much running and not enough eating (not clever !! my spreadsheets didn’t tell me that !). I’ve added a bit onto my home page that goes into my triathlon / running background 🙂

Went for wee sweem after my scan – I so love being in the water, and I met a friend – it was really nice to catch up. It’s these things that make you happy – a bit of exercise and a bit of chat :-))

I even managed to go in to work this afternoon !! (step too far ?? lol)
