Highs and lows

A funny morning at school. We had the most delightful John Muir session with our girls and had some lovely conversations. The reflection part of the award has started and they were brilliant at sharing with each other and writing some incredible poetry. Then my mentoring session got cancelled because my precious mentee had attempted suicide again and was with the mental health crisis team and looking likely to be sectioned. Just hideous and heartbreaking. I'd stuck my running kit in the car to hit the hills while I was in the area so carried on anyway and used the time to process and pray. I feel my only real role for her recently has been to tell her that she's just brilliant and that her life is worth living. I can only pray that those words resonate with her deeply at the moment. 

This was my post-work beer. A souvenir from Bala.

I've got my vaccine tomorrow. Basically not planning much for the rest of the weekend in case I get the side effects that I've heard many people are getting. It does mean that I'll have to try and squeeze my long run in pre-vaccine tomorrow. Just in case!
