Day 128

Well up early this morning. Kit on and off to an early start, still quite nervous.

Cold and frosty and arrived at the club good time, having driven by the entrance to the field ooops.

Was introduced to a lovely man called Keith who would be taking us out. First on the track with a little walking and running. Warm up exercises. Then off on the road and down by the prison, through the wildlife park. We did 1.9 miles and all OK. I was a little out of breath but fine.
Turned to do return trip and my back went into spasm and had dreadful job running so had to walk most of the way back!!!! and its still painful. I am supposed to go back on Tuesday. Got heat pads on so hope that helps. Its my upper back. I think it was because i held myself so tight with being out of breath!!!

I spoke to Tim tonight and said how bad i felt and i guess that's how Mikey and others with CF must feel for most of their lives. Its a dreadful feeling. How i admire them all, they are so incredibly brave. So i didn't grumble about being out of breath even though i was in misery. I'm not going to lie, its just that i am not as brave as them!!!

Arrived home at 10am and we went out for a drive. It was a nice day and i didn't sleep in the car. But this afternoon i have to say i dropped off in the chair.

Out for a walk tonight and back is fine for walking tried to run and back spasmed again. With rest i hope all will be well. It would appear in about 8 weeks we should be fit to run a reasonable distance, we will see!!!!

I think Mikey would be proud of what i have done today! or thought i was absolutely stark staring mad!! and would also be laughing at the state I'm in, shaking his head side to side and saying mother! looking across at his dad with that look he had when he thought you were daft.

I know how much Mikey loved sport and couldn't do it. I was never one for sport really but was able so the tables are turned and here i am.  I am mad!!!

My friends who have sent messages etc today, thank you!!!!
I just hope i can get out of bed in the morning!!!!! Well tomorrow is another day...............
