I’m not just going for a jog

Wednesday 28th Dec

When I lace up my trainers my husband often asks “Are you going for a jog?”

It’s so much more than a “jog”! Running is a key part of my mental health management (not the only part!). It’s the time when I’m just Mel, not mum, wife or all the other hats I juggle daily.

Running is my opportunity to clear my mind, arrange my thoughts and talk to God.

I love running in nature, the sheer vastness always puts my challenges into perspective.

2022 was a particularly tough year for me. I lost my beloved mum to cancer, after a long battle - running helped me to keep putting one foot in-front of the other and not lose my temper (too much!).

I’m looking forward to Red January, to moving every day and feeling the mental and physical benefits.
