With less than 12-weeks to go until my big event, the training is starting to take it toll.  In the last 6 weeks, I’ve completed a 100-mile time trial event on the bike, and a  half ironman distance event.  I spent 2 weeks cycling in the French Alps, and yesterday, I ran 27 hilly kilometres in the Peak district, hence todays fatigue.  These are just a few of the more notable activities.  On top of these, I’ve spent many hours at the swimming pool, run plenty of shorter efforts, and cycled in circles around the local lanes. 

2024 has been an amazing year for me. I achieved my goals and had a lot of fun with family and friends. I also worked hard, primarily focusing on helping others navigate their recovery from chronic ill-health, a job which I feel blessed to be able to do. I feel a significant shift in my life and health, moving towards a place of stability and growth rather than constant repair and recovery. It feels wonderful to finally be here, and truthfully, I'm in a far healthier and happier place than I was before becoming ill.
