Slower finish to the week, feeling as though I overdid it with Glasgow for a concert Friday, still having to pace myself so cat cuddles and a good book today, had a little visitor in the garage gym this week too šŸ¦‡

Laura and Gayle have both been with me a while now and have recently teamed up to take on events like this one.

I absolutely love this side of coaching, new friendships built, encouraging and supporting each other šŸ˜Š

Their training plans are a little different to take into account individual needs and goals but that doesnā€™t mean they canā€™t enjoy the social side getting together for some runs and sessions over the weeks.

Sure theyā€™ve enjoyed a few glasses of w**e along the way too!

Iā€™m sharing these because Iā€™m sure Iā€™m not the only oneā€¦

Like how is everything sitting in there now? does it feel different?, maybe, definitely donā€™t feel the horrible sensations the adenomyosis caused, but does it feel the same as it did before that? I donā€™t know yet, probably too early to tellā€¦.

Can I go a little further? The advice was build up to 30mins this week but I feel ok, should I push it, oh wait a little pulling feeling, zap of pain, maybe Iā€™ve overdone it, ah itā€™s fine now, trying to listen to my body but still a lot of guess workā€¦.

I really hope everythingā€™s attached nice and secure, is my pelvic floor doing ok, walking uphill is definitely a little harder, am I walking funny, I probably am now cos Iā€™m thinking about itā€¦.

Iā€™m roasting, am I having a hot flush? Are my hormones ok? I kept my ovaries but maybe theyā€™ve stopped working, or maybe itā€™s just really hot out and Iā€™m feeling itā€¦

I wonder how long before Iā€™m back running, probably cycling will be better first, I actually canā€™t even imagine being able to jump without pain right now, maybe Iā€™ll open the garage when I get home just go look at my bike for a bit, stop being so impatient, be grateful you can recover and have the space to do itā€¦

This week has definitely been about pacing things and respecting the recovery process ā¤ļø
