That super fast runner, triathlete, twin mother who broke her leg? I randomly thought of her today when working with one of my patients. I can't remember her "name". Wondering how her rehab was going.
Yes, it was gumi. I was thinking about her too. Actually, there are quite a few missing people I have been thinking about.
Agree. A lot of people arent around...its a little quieter than normal.
Spring marathons are almost over & fall marathon training hasn't started for the bulk of people....everyone is quiet. Now is when we need to have a GTG!
Is she the one who broke her femur? Because I randomly wondered if she was still around the other day, too! I'm still trying to keep everyone straight, but that story just stuck in my head...
Thanks guys. My leg is actually all healed. I woke up one day, probably 4 weeks ago, and it didn't hurt anymore. And it hasn't hurt since! I'm enjoying pt still though, I really think I'll be so much stronger than pre-break when it's all said and done.
I'm just really busy with work. I read on my phone but it's not the same experience.
If you ever find yourself the option to be a SCRUM master at work, DONT DO IT. It may be a cool title but fuck no. Lol. That's all I have to say about that.

I have another missing H&Fer. Where is tuggyruns??
You can't shake us, ladies!! We don't take break ups without a fight!
i messaged her the other week, she seems to be doing well. I'll send out an SOS text to her to double check
I'm here! I'm here!
Been missing the GBCN ladies! I honestly REALLY needed this (fight?) I feel like mentally lately I've been "on a break" with running and I need some motivation to keep running! GBCN is always the perfect cure for lack of motivation! I've had some health issues that have made it pretty hard to run, so fingers crossed things get resolved soon!

There you are! Hi!! I hope the health issues are resolved soon, and that you are back hitting the pavement in no time.
I'm sorry ladies. I've had some hard times and some busy times lately. As you might have known, I got pregnant again, and lost it again. Third time (in a year) was not a charm. It hit me pretty hard. Not only had it forced a break in fitness/training but the obvious subsequent loss brought me way down. I felt suckerpunched. Added to this, I was working long hours and commuting which also meant no way could I get any mid-week runs in. I just couldn't get back into it at all.
I joined a group on Facebook for childfree women, but found that rather than focus on their fabulous lives they focus almost every ounce of effort on hating women that have got children. I don't how know I feel about children anymore, but I don't hate people who have them. I love children, particularly ages 5 and up. I'm just not sure I want to make my own any more.
I did manage to do some travelling, I've been to Morocco, Stockholm and Mexico this year (felt far less than my best on the beach I might add) and then I took stock of things and made changes. I quit my job to take one that has me working from home again, for a company based in Seattle. This equals late morning starts and thus opportunity for training. My new boss is a marathon runner and cyclist so he gets it. Last week was my first week and I had meetings in London with him. So we got up at 6am and went for a run around Hyde Park / Kensington Palace. That was pretty cool.
I'm definitely back into training this last week. I've entered the Great Manchester Run (Europe's biggest 10K) as it is 3 years since I ran it with cervical cancer, so it's a good time to remind all my female friends to get a pap smear test. I ran 10K yesterday taking 3 minutes off my time from Wednesday and I cycled 25 miles today (past the area where emily's family lives which actually reminded me that I need to get back here).
So, anyway, thank you for missing me, I'm back. I have missed you all too. Can't wait to read what everyone has been up to!

Hey Lady! This is weird but were we following each other on IG? lol.
Did we get disconnected? (huh) (It will be embarrassing if you stopped following me lol-- )
