A couple of months ago, I posted my last blog post in what would be months and I did not anticipate it to be the most injury burdened few months of my life. But I am now writing this post at the end of may and my runs have began again... slowly but it is coming. I have also finished my final year school exams, which were possibly one of the most intense few weeks of my life... and you could say most stressful couple of years of my life. I could not be happier to say that I have finished. Only today have I felt like I have finally stopped because there was over a week of celebrations to follow the end of exams. I had the longest sleep last night... 13 hours, and I finally feel fresh to get back to a proper exercise routine. Here are some of the key bits I have been up to: My Birthday: My 18th birthday was right in the middle of exams, this may sound pretty bad and it was, but it was made slightly better by the fact that I was at the beginning of a six day break from exams. This meant I was pretty much able to take the whole day off revision and actually have fun on my birthday, rather than being inside at my desk all day. It was lovely because we were even able to go out as a family in the evening, which I loved! Parkrun Supporting: For pretty much my entire easter holidays and exam period, I wasn't able to actually run parkrun, so I got pretty good at watching it. My family have recently got into running and now parkrun is on our weekly Saturday schedule. I can't wait to be able to run it with them! Working on those weaknesses: Even though there has been a period where I haven't been running, I have been able to keep up some exercise, although time has been limited, I have rediscovered my love of cycling. I'm enjoying trying new routes and getting back used to being on two wheels and its something I want to continue to do even when I'm back to running properly. With all the injuries I've had, there comes a lot of rehab exercises... which can be pretty boring but I know they have to be done! Post Exam Celebrations: The last two years have been tough and I can't actually still believe that all the work for my final year of school exams are over... although now I am patiently (okay not so patiently) waiting for the results and I am hoping I'll meet my first choice uni exam grades. The week after exams has been great... and it may have involved a few too many late nights, but I had just the best time. That all from me for now, but I'll be back next weekend with my weekly blog post. I'm putting a poll at the end of this post, to see what any of you want to see on my blog more of. G x
