Step by step
To be honest I was never really that fit before I got bc. I did try from time to time but I never really saw myself as an athletic type of person. But during treatment I really noticed that exercise ...
Yes the view is excellent but strangely disorientating as things are not where I thought they should be in my mental map of the coast.
Embarrassingly I grew up on the coast but have a very poor sense of direction, obviously ;). Old Woman Island actually confused me because it is much more north than I thought. As a child I was used to viewing it from the top of Alexandra Headland where it looks very different to what I see from Mt Coolum.
I actually failed to reach the top of Mt Coolum when we were supposed to climb it when I was in High School!! So being able to run it today was pretty special!! I never imagined being able to do this let alone after I had had chemo etc.
Good luck with your recovery when the time comes. It takes patience and little steps but hey, it's not as hard as chemo! Take care, Deanne xxx
