Thank you for visiting my Marathon Month Challenge page. So, January came and instead of just making half hearted resolutions and empty promises, I wanted to do something that would keep me motivated, especially when you hit that mid January slump. Many of you might not know that I have suffered with chronic back pain for many years, this time last year I was on crutches and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. With widespread pain, I struggled to exercise so I gained weight and the weight puts more pressure on my body, meaning I struggle to exercise. It’s a vicious cycle. So I thought, no more excuses, start to move, little and often. So, what better way than trying to walk/run the distance of a marathon in a month for cancer research UK. I myself know people who have been affected by cancer, family members, friends and work colleagues. So this is in celebration of those that have beaten cancer and in memory of those who have lost their battle. Thank you for reading, and thank you to anyone who has sponsored me, it means so much. I want 2022 to be the year I finally take control back of my body.
