Thursday Diary
Trees has over done it today. I guess she was feeling on top form and pushed it a little too far. Maybe Trees will take it easy tomorrow. It must be so hard to hold back when you have been stuck in the house for weeks unable to do any of things you want to.
Popped over to see the Physio tonight and I got a new torturer. Carol appears to be very experienced with runners injuries. Apparently my ankles are rolling too far beyond normal limits and I need to have some kind of insert in my running shoes to help correct it. Wish I listened more.
Went through some tendon and lower leg stretches. The offending left tendon is very tight. I have to stretch lightly more than 5 times a day. I have a cracking stretch to do sat at my desk where no one can see. The plan is light stretching for a week in the lower leg then possibly light 5 minute jogs if all goes well.
The deep massage has left me a little sore tonight. More like itchy I guess. I can now walk up and down stairs quite well so it feels like I am recovering quickly enough.
Carol the Torturer believes I will constantly injured unless I get rid to of the chronic inflexibility. Suggested that yoga should be central to my training regime.
Feel like I am recovering and I have a plan.
Yeeeee haaaaaa as Dan would say!
End of another week
Don't we do a lot in a week. What is frightening is that this is a quiet time for me. Rest and recuperation and all that. Wait for the busy times.
Been on top of work for the last few days and got a great deal of personal stuff done. Feels like I have had one great big push all week. Can go home feeling in control. That does not happen all the time.
I am off to pick up Lauren for the weekend. The Christmas lights are going up and a perfectly good tree will be felled and placed in our living room. Cannot wait. I love Christmas. It always feels like a complete break and afresh start and I love all the love and care. It is the time in the year where you can get intimate with the ones you love.
It is also 3 years for Trees and myself Monday evening. Trees will do something special. Going to be exciting. We will also go see Handel's Messiah on Sunday. Hope Trees has the energy for all this. If not, we always do it another time.
Feels great to have a the weekend ahead.. Time to start humming Jingle Bells?
Feels like Christmas
Popped over to Ruthin for the Christmas Market.
Saw the strangest Morris dancers ever but fantastic fun. Also the strangest local foods and crafts to try. Bought a Christmas Tree for outside the front door.
What do you think?
Debs and Tony
Got some lovely flowers from "The Gills". Apparantly the flowers have been on a journey of their own.

Anniversary day
Today is three years for Trees and myself. It started with the words "nice tattoo". I still smile and get a pang in my heart when I think of our first meeting, first kiss, first day together, first night together. Feels like we have both been racing along since. Partly leaving behind some horrible times for both of us but more importantly racing towards some of the wonderful things that life has to offer two people quite clearly in love. We know that we have had some troubled times on the way. These feel insignificant compared to the beautiful things we have experienced together hand in hand with friends and family. Every single hurdle we have cleared has proven our commitment to each other. How many times do you see a couple blame each other when things go wrong. We pull together and become stronger. There are going to be some major changes again next year. Between babies, money and business we are going to have the opportunity to demonstrate our love even more. Cannot wait. I find it difficult to articulate the difference Trees has made in my life. I thought my life had been pretty good in general; it is ecstatically fantastic now. I did not realise how much care, friendship, support and commitment one person could receive. It is overwhelming at times. I am not sure that one person deserves this much love an happiness. I am not going to question if for now, I will just enjoy it. Tony
