Isn’t it beautiful... so many shades of different colours even when it’s grey!

I’ve been quiet on here late.... I’m aware it’s week andy line of work I feel the pressure to put something up....
**
I guess I’ve been looking after my own mental health recently and however wonderful a platform Instagram is, it isn’t always the best place for me so I’ve been keeping my distance a little.
**
The only advice I can offer as I believe we already hold all the answers inside ourselves is we can’t support others if we don’t support ourselves and that’s what I’ve been trying to do the last couple of weeks...

Over and out 😊

Can’t believe a week today I had just set off for my longest run to date !!
*
I couldn’t be further from running today as I still lie horizontal in bed with my first proper lie in!
*
It’s taken my body a lot of adjusting this week and I’ve felt all sorts of emotions from feeling overwhelmed to a kind of flatness!
*
Saying that I’m starting to feel like I may be ready for a short, gentle run again!
*
Although I got a ballot place I wanted to run for a charity still (just without the pressure of raising £2k) I’ve been bowled over with how much I raised! Thank you to everyone that supported me.... it’s been one phenomenal experience for me, a journey of acceptance, of support, of love and the realisation that I can do pretty much anything if I set my mind to it as I NEVER thought this little body would have been able to run a marathon!
*
Theres still time to sponsor the wonderful charity of you would like to. The link is in the bio above. Thank you again for everyone that has donated... it’s meant the world to me.

LONDON MARATHON 2019 ✅

I just want to thank everyone for all the support both the visible in terms of family and friends who were there yesterday but also the people who couldn’t be there who sponsored me and sent me messages before and during. I can’t tell you how much it meant for you to all have my back and I kept thinking when all I wanted to do was walk to it for the people who have your back, do it for them...
*
Yesterday was the most phenomenal and excruciating experience I have EVER EVER felt. I loved it until around mile 18 where I felt something go funny in my left knee (funny how my mind had blocked it out during the run until this afternoon when the memory came back to me), from then I got pins and needles that started creeping all the way up and down my leg until I couldn’t feel it any more just pain (I even stopped to stretch it out in case t was cramp it I know that feeling and it def was my that)... it was horrendous.... but I plowed on and continued running until the end..... where I received my medal..... I definitely didn’t receive the runners high when I passed the finish line but relief and a time of 4hrs 6mins.... will I do it again.... never say never but for now I’m a like a hobbling granny so I’m off to ice my knee and put some weight on!
*
Oh one last thing... so far I have managed to raise £1675.... there’s still time to sponsor me if you’d like to. I’ve been raising money for a wonderful charity Heads Together... follow the link in my bio above to read a little bit more about it and also my story.

~ Determination ~ Holy Moly.... 2 days... only 2 days to go before I run the furthest I ever run in my LIFE! Still can’t believe I’m doing it!!!!

Still time to sponsor me, I’ve smashed my £1k target so now I’m trying to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity ! I would hugely appreciate your donation it’s not about the money to me but the support that’s behind me....

Read my story in the link in my bio above ⬆️

Also if you want to track how I’m getting on during the run, download the london marathon app and either plug in Chloe Wilkinson into the search engine or my official number below 15755 and I should pop up... super easy!

Thank you to all those that have supported me so far, it’s been the most incredible feeling and experience so far... can’t imagine what Sunday’s going to feel like!

Wish me luck eek 🥴

Little plea as I head out on my final longish weekend run before the next Sunday! I can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed the training... I never thought I would enjoy running the kind of miles I’ve been running but I have 🥴especially with the lighter mornings.

I’m running for an amazing charity a charity close to my heart as it’s trying to change the way we talk and approach mental health. You’ll find the link in my biog above. I’ve felt completely overwhelmed with love he last week as the donations have been pouring in so I’m just trying to raise as much as I possibly can now. Please help me with whatever you can spare small or large.

~CHANGE IT UP~
🥊
Why narrow your net....I don’t want to be obsessive about one thing.
💃
Having been a dancer for so many years and mainly “just” doing that, I now enjoy trying so many different activities/sports.
🤸‍♀️
At the moment you’re probably seeing ALOT of me running.. partly because I’m training for the London Marathon... WHAAAAAAT you haven’t heard... links in my bio if you would like to sponsor me 😉. But I do all sorts of things.... I find it not only supports my body better but allows my mind to remain flexible, rather than rigid which keeps me buoyant and content. I also get to meet loads of cool and interesting people along the way.
⛷
So today I boxed/Muay Thai (thanks .thaker for the recommendation). I was still like a scrappy little Jack Russell in the words of but was fun and it was hard and you know what, I probably wasn’t that great at it but I did enjoy myself and that’s what it’s all about for me these days!
• 🏋️‍♀️
Give it a go, shift you mindset and try something new this week, even if it’s a different brekkie to the one you normally have 😊
