Day 54 of Lockdown …..
Hello, my name is Carol,
So excited. Today feels like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one. The doorbell rings and father Christmas aka Paul Venning appears. YES my Stages bike has arrived from Venning indoor cycle hire.👏👏.
I am 57. There’s nothing exceptional about me. I am a statistic. The 1 in 2 that will have Cancer. Diagnosis followed a Mastectomy, Chemotherapy & Radiotherapy.
I never thought Why Me? I try to find my “new normal” and started training for the Manchester Marathon. I’ll return to work knowing I haven’t completed my journey. Then COVID-19 arrives, and a letter from NHS. I’m now shielding. The garden wall has been my perimeter for so many weeks 😢.
I’ve rediscovered baking and growing my own vegetables and now able to work from home, desperately trying to get into a routine, and keep healthy both mentally and physically.
Now I have the icing on the cake. The STAGES Indoor Cycle. This I know will do wonders for my mental wellbeing, I will get physically fitter, how fit and how much weight I lose will now be down to me.
Everything is now on the up.
