I did a thing today. I bought the top that shows my wobbly arms and that I’m clearly not a size 14/16/18 etc. etc. I had a conversation with my GP this morning and she reminded me, life is way too short. So. I’m going to wear the top, and the earrings and own it. ❤️

In January I joined a local running club with some mad idea that I might actually get my lardy arse around a track...back then I could barely run for 20 seconds. Tonight I ran 7K without stopping. There are not enough words to describe how happy I am... #thisgirlcan ❤️

*Whispers with excitement* I did it! ❤️❤️❤️ 34 days ago I could only manage 1.2K without stopping. Tonight I ran 10K without stopping... Can't quite put into words how I feel right now but you know what #ThisGirlCan and she bloody well did! 👌🏃‍♀️👟💪🔥😎

Four years ago today my Dad was killed in a road traffic accident. The pain & the grief is still as raw now as it was then. I never got to say goodbye or tell him how much I loved him. I miss him so very much... If you love someone, tell them, as tomorrow it may be too late ❤️

I deleted a tweet this morning because a complete stranger decided to correct me on a grammar mistake & then MORE complete strangers decided to join in. Dyslexia is a bit of a bitch really. It can take me a while to process information & I don't always recognise my mistakes.

Super proud of myself... 7 weeks ago I was on crutches and wearing a leg brace, today I managed a brisk 1.2 mile walk. Everything hurts but I'm so so happy. I know it's not far in the grand scheme of things but it's a massive step for me. #ThisGirlCan and she will ❤️

I have really struggled with motivation the past 2 weeks, eating like a horse & very little running has seen me falling in to bad habits again. Tonight I dragged myself out & ran a decent 7K...more importantly I reminded myself on how bloody far I have come. I'm no quitter ❤️

Why do people have to be so vile on here? It's absolutely fine not to agree with someone else's point of view or opinion but does it really need to be reduce to the kind of derogatory language that quite frankly, some people should be flipping ashamed off. Grow up & move on!
