Thank you kml!

I can barely walk today...lol! But I've done it once, so I can do it again.

I also came up with another goal yesterday. This one is to do with distance to run, rather than length of time spent running.

So I'm gonna approach it in the same way as I did my run yesterday: nice, easy pace; keeping a good shape throughout and control over my breathing at all times.

It will take me longer than my run yesterday, I already know that. But it's about knowing I can run a certain distance this time rather than for a specific length of time.

Once I've done both those things, maybe a couple of times, I can start to concentrate on speeding it all up a bit.

Other news: I've committed to another event for my business. So along with the orders I have in the pipeline, I'll be busy on that front for the first few months of next year.

Annnnnnd, his children have bought us all tickets for a major sporting event. So the four of us will all be going to that, then to dinner. It's incredibly lovely of them, and I feel very accepted by them. I get the feeling they are happy for their dad to be with me.

It's almost two years we've been together now (end of January), and the time has just flown by. Our life is incredibly peaceful and at the same time very exciting. It's not the adrenalin roller coaster excitement of my previous life, which in the end, was really draining (and was probably a major contributing factor to me becoming quite depressed for a good few years towards the end of everything). It's a totally different sort of excitement, more to do with discovering each other and other aspects of our own selves. it feels like there is lots of room for both of us to grow, as individuals and obviously together as well. And at the same time, our life is very peaceful. And it feels very private too (we're both quite private people).

Such a contrast in so many ways to my previous life.

I feel incredibly content and at peace at the moment.
