April sign-off 🌿
A month of clinic life, marathon build-up, family chaos, Easter moments, CPD, spring arriving and plenty of reminders that balance is never perfect — but we keep showing up… usually fuelled by coffee.
🌿 Clinic room moments — runners getting event-ready and postnatal return-to-running programmes progressing
🌿 Tin hat on — balancing the chaos of family, clinic, carb loading and marathon mindset
🌿 Last long run ticked off before marathon day — proud, relieved and slightly sad to lose the excuse to disappear for three hours
🌿 Toddler tantrums, mum life and remembering these moments are temporary… even if they feel very permanent mid-meltdown
🌿 Easter egg hunt and enjoying a much-needed break
🌿 Starbies — because when you’re not drinking during marathon training, an overpriced coffee becomes a personality trait
🌿 Visiting Manchester Bubble Planet with the family — because nothing beats a giant-sized ball pit for all ages
🌿 Completing the marathon — such a wholesome day watching so many people reach their goals, push through the tough bits and raise so much awareness and money for amazing charities
🌿 Spring arriving at the Sale clinic
🌿 CPD learning — always adding more to support patient journeys
🌿 May ready
P.S. Now that I’m in my own post-marathon recovery phase, here’s your reminder not to let niggles or injuries linger. The sooner you get a professional opinion and start the right treatment, the easier it usually is to treat and recover from.
Let’s be having you, May 🌿
❤️
