This year is coming to an end and my lord, it has been an interesting one.

From January 1st, I will be taking part in Red January again for the charity mind. Unlike last time, I will not be running 3 miles every day. This year, I'm starting from a more difficult place and I will be mixing up running, weight training, moky and walks with the girls. Just something every day. From where I have been, this in itself is a huge challenge for me.

Exercise has always been that escape from my own mind but recently, just getting through each day has been a priority. It is now time to start becoming me again and give a helping hand and raise awareness for mental health.

Thank you to everyone that has helped me this last year, this is my little way of giving back. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
