Race For Life 2009

I took part in the Race for Life on Weston Super Mare sea front on Sunday. It was pouring with rain. A very emotional day, with lots and lots of people taking part.

I did attempt to run, but running on sand in rain, when you havent done any training is pretty hard going, and I probably lasted 20 seconds (at the most). But walked a very brisk walk and completed the 5km distance in 52 minutes, running across the finishing line.

I do have two very sore areas the back on my heels, from my trainers rubbing, but I am so pleased I took part.

Well Done to every who has or will be taking part this year - Keep Up The Good Work

PS. No news from hospital with reference to thyroid - so I am assuming no news is good news!

Thyroid .....

Had to go to musgrove park hospital myself yesterday for my check up. My consultant is happy with me, except nodules on my thyroid have been detected (via MRI). The majority of nodules found generally are benign. But as I have 6 he is a little concerned. There is no swelling in my neck, and I do not have any symptoms that my thyroid is not working correctly. Sent me for a thyroid blood test and full blood count - fingers crossed - I dont want to go through anymore of this shite.

The funny thing is - I had reflexology a few months ago, and that was the one thing that was picked up - but I didnt really think reflexology worked .... I do now!

Also havent lost any weight this month, and I have been so good. Time to up my exercise I think.

I am taking part in the Race For Life on the 17th May, on Weston sea front
