Having had a rough couple of weeks, tearful, tired and not coping I met up with the group of ladies that I have been traing with and jogged 8 miles this morning. I feel so much better, back on track to make Ed proud, do the Beaverbrook 10k and the Manchester one, both in May to raise money for cancer research.
