Back to work :)

I went back to work on Tuesday and things have gone really well so far.  I am very tired from it but it's been quite a while since I had to do an 11pm finish so it was a bit of a shock to the system. 

I have started going swimming again and that is going really well, I did 20 lengths the first time I went and felt I could have done more but didn't want to push too hard.  I went again this week and did 30 lengths in 27 minutes which gave me a huge sense of achievement.  I have signed myself up for the sport relief big splash mile.  It is 64 lengths of a 25m pool.  It is not until the end of April so I have plenty of time to build myself back up but it is good for me to have a goal to work towards.  Feel free to sponsor me using the link below ;)

I don't quite feel up to adding running into the mix as I have found work very tiring and really can't afford to do too much and set myself up for a fall.  I am seeing my specialist on Thursday so I will take advice from her.

It feels good to be back in the real world with a purpose.

Getting back on track

Firstly apologies for the lack of updates on my blog, I haven't been able to run so I didn't feel there was much to tell.  I have struggled for a couple of months now with my M.E but I am finally on the mend and going back to work next Tuesday.  I can't wait!

I was advised by the doctor I could start back doing some walking and also gentle exercise at home so I have been doing some fitness dvd's and simple workouts.  I feel so much better when I am done so I am really excited that I can start running again in the next couple of weeks.

I haven't put an exact date on it as I want to make sure work goes ok first and follow the advice of my doctor to avoid any more issues.

I feel positive, confident and ready for anything now.  So bring it on!!  I am going back to Week 1 Day 1 as it has been so long since I did any running.  Also I am not going to push myself too hard at first and if I need to repeat weeks I will.  Pacing is so important for recovery in M.E and I know how to do that.

Wish me luck :)
