Bek is still tri-ing!
F#ck Breast cancer. It's affected too many people I love and taken some of the best humans away well before their time. I will keep supporting NBCF to research and improve treatments, find prevention strategies, and, hopefully, a cure, as long as there is air in my lungs.
So, once again, I am doing Triathlon Pink and raising funds for world-class breast cancer research to help National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) towards their vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.
I hate asking for donations but not as much as I hate breast cancer! So if you have some spare $ I would really appreciate your support.
My Updates
Never say never
Tuesday 11th Aug In 2014 after quite a few years of symptoms I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis. It really messed with my fitness and my penchant for doing things like triathlons and I have struggled with injuries and tendonitis.About 7 years ago I gave running another try and the next day I realised my tendons really didn't like it.
After that I did the sensible thing and found other ways of trying to stay fit. I thought I woud never run again.
I can happily report I am as fit as I was in 2014 for the first time! Yay! And I have decided never is not a word in my vocabulary. I am going to carefully start running again and see if I can't run the 5km part of my tri! And I have done two treadmill sessions running 2 minutes at a time. So far so good!
If it doesn't work, I have met the best people at the back of the pack walking the run section of the Pink! But watch this space. Can Bek run again! I think maybe she can/
