The past few months have proved to be extremely stressful and I have to admit exercising has helped me avoid being admitted  to somewhere they have padded rooms. So when my immune system decided to cave in to some sort of debilitating bug I was most frustrated. Being the fool I am I refused to miss my visit to The Chelsea Flower show yesterday which sapped any reserves of energy I was storing for a rainy day!

Today both  energy  & enthusiasim  totally lacking  I made the decision to soldier on regardless. Michael surprisingly was quite kind and understanding and did not push me too hard. We managed our run but not at the normal pace. Finishing off with the fitness ball which helps with my balance which is always much worse in times of stress. All in all I feel much better having trained albeit at a slower and gentler pace .
