Slow Sunday, Shattered and Samarathon

I’ve had a very quiet weekend. I did very little on Saturday except some light housework and laundry.

Today, I started my July challenge - to walk or jog a marathon throughout July for The Samaritans. 

I have opted to undertake paced walking throughout the month with the walking aids my specialist chronic pain physiotherapist gave me at my Pain Clinic appointment this week.

I have a fundraising target of £150 and have opted for any donations raised to go to the local branch of Samaritans. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I did 1.75 miles this evening and took a few photos on my phone along the way. It was sunny and dry which was a blessing as the weather here has been very changeable to say the least. My feet are on fire but I feel it’s worth it if I can help people as I have lived experience of suicidal ideation.

Today’s Blip is of some broken glass on the pavement whilst out on my paced walk. Although  I hate to see this as it’s dangerous for dogs and children as well as other pedestrians, I thought it looked strangely pretty in contrast with the leaves. Those fragments are as shattered as I feel!

I caught up with one of my best friends Rosie online today. We’re hoping to meet up this week. It’s going to be a busy one as I have numerous appointments. 

I did some Duolingo German revision and more beginner Ukrainian this afternoon to chill.

Sore tonight but resting up before bed.
