Lagging behind with social media posts, as usual.
We’ve been busy…

Anyhow, this is from our summer closing bbq only a few days ago, and we might do the updates backwards of what kept us busy, until we caught up. #rushslowly

One whole year for +1kg PB competition total. Except it wasn’t one whole year for +1kg. It was a year of so much struggle, so much questioning, so much growth, so much reckoning, so much hope, so much disappointment, whilst ultimately returning time and time again, day in and day out, rep after rep, no matter how defeated I’ve felt, to the thing I love and which reminds me why I fought so hard to get here, and why I keep fighting. One whole year to add 1kg to my total is a reminder that we don’t all move through life at the same pace and we don’t all face the same challenges along the way, and sometimes we have to hold onto the tiniest of steps forwards. Because progress is progress, no matter how small and no matter how long it takes. It’s been a really testing year of training, and the last few years have been especially and unexpectedly challenging outside of training, and I’ll be honest there are plenty of moments when I have really questioned why I keep going. But this was the glimmer I really needed. A suggestion that maybe I *am* on the right path even if that path doesn’t look like the one I expected.

Thank you @mems_weightlifting for everything. For the patience, loving firmness, humouring my many quirks, and providing space for me to grow into myself. And a huge thank you to my parents, who probably have to play a more active role in supporting me than parents of a 29 year old should, but who do so with an infinite amount of belief in me when I can’t see it for myself. I guess I am really grateful that none of us gave up.

A favourite performance of ours from the @britishwl championships last month - the fabulous Noorinn Gulam and her fight for the CWG. Coach Mem never far behind, nose in the smelling salts and doing his famous coaches lean back. These two are a powerhouse together 💪🏼 by @mems_weightlifting
