220 days to go

220 days to go and I’m all clear - my scar has healed and my head is officially cancer-free so I’m back in the pool and back on the treadmill. Sadly having travelled so much recently and done 11 speaking engagements in the last 10 days, I now have a horrible cold so feeling a wee bit sleep-deprived from all the coughing. Training has taken a hit over the last few weeks, but the knock-on effects have been alarming. My waistline and my mood have taken a hit so I’m slightly embarrassed to say that even a slow, short swim followed by a long and even slower session in the steam room had made an embarrassing difference to my mood.

Hopefully by the end of the weekend, the cold will be long gone and a full training regime can resume.
