What it feels like to run, when you are SERIOUSLY unfit…

10 July, 2015 by Emma MacDonald 2 Comments

  Tomorrow I am running the Pretty Muddy 5km race for Cancer Research. Sounds easy right? It’s only 5k… *coughs* No. When you are as SERIOUSLY unfit as I am, 5km may as well be a marathon. THIS is what it feels like to run, what it feels like to train, when you are me […]

Why I watch stand up to cancer UK

A lot of things have happened lately. Bad things. Life-changing things. Some of those things I’ve shared privately on Facebook. One of those things I will share on here. But there are some things which I can’t share, not even here on my blog. Not even with my best friend, because he went AWOL on […]

I am a warrior

Most of the time, I am a positive person, who can see the bright side of everything and I try my best to see the good in everyone. I try to be a good person and do things that help and inspire others, especially when it comes to my blog. But there are times, as […]

This year the Stand Up To Cancer appeal is going to be bigger and better than ever and hopefully raise a ton of money for Cancer Research UK. One of the events is the March On Cancer, which is happening tonight, in fifteen cities across the UK. Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chester, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, […]

That first post-cancer check up

25 September, 2014 by Emma MacDonald 4 Comments

My 6 month post-cancer check up with my consultant oncologist got a little bit delayed, due to a bout of depression and a phase in which I kept cancelling my appointments. It ended up being a 10 month post-cancer check up. I dutifully popped to the hospital to get my bloods taken the week before, […]

I just realised my photo from the top of "The Moun I just realised my photo from the top of "The Mount" never posted! My insta looks jumbled 😂 So here's the photo I took from the top of #stmichaelsmount back in October at my beautiful friend's wedding. It was both breezy and breathtaking. I don't drink very often, but I made an exception that day and had a glass of two of prosecco to toast the happy couple.

St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. The wedding venue St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. The wedding venue of my beautiful school friend Harriet and her new husband John. Very unique, quite a climb to the top, especially when the gatekeeper tells you you need to run (I didn't need to run). I made it over the causeway and into the chapel at the top in just 10 minutes, but my legs were like jelly and I couldn't breathe once I got there. Thankfully I had a good 35 mins to recover before the bride arrived. Stunning location and well worth a visit if you're near Penzance end of Cornwall. You can only cross to the mount when the tide is out and must be back on the mainland before the tide comes in, so check tide times before you visit!

Mike and I are having a weekend away in Cornwall. Mike and I are having a weekend away in Cornwall. Our first time away without the children in over 2 years. We are here for my beautiful school friends wedding, which is around a 30 minute drive away. This is the view from the doorstep of our hotel at Mullion Cove. I do love being near the sea, it relaxes me and resets me.

I wish we had a view like this from our room, but sadly, despite paying £285 for our room, we've only got a view of power cables, kitchen and the bin stores 🙈

We watched #Texas #McFly #BeverleyKnight #Lulu #TheFratellis I wish we could have stayed longer but I think next year we will camp and do the whole weekend. Its such a fab family friendly festival.

Bear loved playing with the bubbles in the entrance and was given some of his own to play with. We have been on some funfair rides, had some lunch and are now sat waiting for the Everything Show to start out on the main track. Hoping to see some donuts, pops and bangs!

We are away camping in Dorset (the county where I We are away camping in Dorset (the county where I grew up). We arrived Wednesday, set up the tent, went shopping, had dinner and went to bed. Yesterday was a day out in Bournemouth. Bournemouth is one of my favourite beaches in the UK. I love how clean it is, how soft the sand is, how clear the sea is, and the fact you can stroll through the stunning gardens if you need a bit of shade.

Yesterday was the first time in about 2 years that we've been anywhere this busy, so it was a bit worrying and we did pop our face masks on in the crowded places and all the shops. With the exception of the masks and a little anxiety (I found myself holding my breath every time I walked past someone), it was like life pre-pandemic.

When we went for a swim in the sea, my 9 year old daughter (affectionately nicknamed Fluffy) threw her hands up in the air and declared, "THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!".

This is what our children have been missing. This is what I've been missing. I stood in the sea taking lungfuls of sea air, jumping the waves and watching the delighted look on her face. It definitely was one of the best feelings ever.
