As I write this I am sat on a plane to Marrakesh thinking about what has gone one the past few weeks. Several weeks ago now I had a mental health breakdown. I lost tough with reality for a few short hours. This made me think a lot about life in general and my health. I saw several doctors including my PDoc but you know what I’m coming to realise that my mental health is something that ‘I’ have to manage.
I’m going to try pretty much whatever it takes to get control. I have bought something called a Flow Headset, which you wear on your head and using electricity it stimulates the frontal cortex of your brain. I’ve been using it for 5 weeks not and I have to say I feel a new man.
I also have some Exciting news, I have a new job in Cumbria. I’m going to commute and stay over initially but am seriously considering a full time move up North. Some great training lakes in Cumbria.
Also I have been working closely with Marta regarding my diet and Hilary on my training. The first target is to lose 6kg by August 8th. I have also entered the Manchester Marathon for 2025 and will be entering Outlaw half in Nottingham in 2025.
I’m currently in my hotel in Marrakesh thinking positively about my goals and the past week. The boys have had a great time: we have visited the Market Souks and market square, then visited the Palace of Bahia and Koutoubia Mosque – it is a beautiful city.
