Today was the first day that I really very nearly caved in and did not run. Not sure why. Just tired. I was printing all afternoon which is quite draining (I know - how very arty of me - draining darling!). Then ironing and more ironing. I had the thought of not running and I am surprised it has taken until Day 11 for it to happen!
It turned out to be a wonderful run which will stay in my heart forever. I would have missed out on a 'moment' had I not run. It was not far, 2 miles. My knee still hurts but nothing too bad. It was a great run because it was my first with one of my sons. One of my girls was coming and he asked to join us so off we went. He was awesome. He tripped over twice but sprang right up. He barely stopped - only for his puffer once. I was so proud I honestly could of burst.
When he was born his lungs collapsed and as I held him in my arms for the first time he turned blue, then purple, then all hell broke loose. To cut a long story short he needed help to breathe for a little while. Tonight as I ran alongside my little man I vividly recalled the Consultant reassuring us he would be ok. "He won't be running marathons but he will live a normal life." #runningthroughtears
Well Mr Consultant, he is 10 now and I tell you, if my boy wanted to run a marathon when he was older, he could and he would smash it. I remember being so scared and if I think back to those days in SCBU my whole body can ache just remembering. All I wanted was for him to be healthy back then. 10 years on he is a happy, healthy and scrummy little man.
