A new month ... still no sign of my old life!

I truly am trying my best not to be a miserable cow but being in constant pain is very wearing and not being able to do all the things I love to do is like torture - especially in this glorious sunny weather!

I have suffered the freezing temperatures of the lake all winter and now that it like a bath I am unable to swim!

This past weekend has been particularly difficult as it was Liverpool Rock N Roll Half Marathon which is an event I love and I had high hopes at getting another PB this year.  However, in hindsight I don't think I will have managed the PB as it was way too hot to be running!

I have my up days and my bad days pain-wise!  Monday was a horrendous day and I could barely move without crying but then yesterday I woke up with very little pain!

I have no idea when or even if I will ever get back to swimming, running or cycling!

I am very slowly turning into a over-weight lazy couch potato and I really don't like what I see!

I have another race this weekend that I will have to cancel and then The Great North Swim the weekend after that!

I keep telling myself I am lucky to be alive but it really isn't helping me in the current circumstances!

Its 26 days since a daft old lady changed my life ...

... and the scary thing is she will still be driving around the roads "not seeing" people!

She doesn't want to give up driving as she will lose her Independence! I didn't want to give up exercise but she has taken that choice away from me!  GGGRRRRRR!

This is more than just a shoulder and arm injury to me, Its a huge part of my life put on hold - indefinitely!
