Walk & Talk

If you hadn't noticed I have been having a bit of a hard time getting motivated to go walking this has slowly getting worse. I hate feeling the way I have been feeling and it sucks when I have been enjoying what I have been doing for so long. I know it has made me fitter as well as losing a little bit of weight. Why have I been feeling this way? I have no idea. I have a few ideas. Trent being away, me being stressed about Trent being away and stressed about being home on my own with the kids. When Trent came home and I relaxed I realised just how worried/stressed I had been. I think this the resulted in me having the worst headache I have ever had.

Now what has all of this got to do with walking? Not a lot really but had I not emailed Nic to say I was going to go on a walking hiatus for a week or so I wouldn't have ended up going for a walk tonight. Yes I know that makes no sense, I say I am not going to go walking but end up going out the very next day? After I emailed Nic he knew things weren't good and I let him know how I have been feeling. He suggested we catch up one night this week to chat. I knew that if I didn't stick to my walking every other day routine I would get pissed off at myself, so I thought why not go for a walk and a talk.

Talking to Nic about nothing and everything always makes me feel better. Talking to Nic whilst walking makes me lose track of what I am doing and made me walk 4.94km. I felt good about going for the walk (even if it was kind of forced) as it has made me gather perspective again and I think it will get me back on track again. I have to now see if I can jog for more than 2.32 mins in preparation for the fun run in a few weeks.

I greatly appreciate Nic listening to my ramblings as it helps me sort the shit out in my head. I think any one would be lucky to have a friend like Nic but I am lucky enough to have three people in my life that are there to listen and help me when I get a bit overwhelmed with life. I just don't always remember that they are happy to listen and help.

Trent, Nic & Robyn I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the help you have all given me over the past few days. You have all helped me more than you know and I am eternally grateful. Friends like you are rare and I feel honoured to be able to call you my friends (and husband). I love you all and thank you xxx
