Admitting this in public, AND on my business page where I risk losing business from prospective clients or respect of current ones, colleagues, peers. etc.ย 

It's like putting yourself on a stage, in the spotlight, in the worst way. But the purpose of the "self sacrifice" is to raise awareness and to re-humanise!ย 

Last night I went to see a niche play in a small auditorium at Nottingham playhouse.ย 

It told the story of a woman with PMDD with an accuracy that was extremely validating and pretty damn uncomfortable to watch - quite polarising feelings - ironically, a bit like the condition itself.ย 

#PMDD is both a strength and a weakness, depending where you are in your menstrual cycle. You're either flying or dying, all the while you're trying to be somewhere in the middle so no one notices there's 2 versions of you. 

Like Tolkien's Middle-earth. The stable Shire phase; manageable, clear, peaceful, and filled with ordinary comforts. Then the sky turns heavy and dark, the borders violently collapse, exposingย  the"Mordor" pre menstrual phase, all hostile and exhausting to navigate.

๐Ÿ“– The Lord of the Rings comparison will perhaps resonate with someone who wouldn't go and see a play about women's health ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿฅฑ my point being, it's ultimately a classic story of good Vs evil.ย ย 

A FIRST? 

Whilst there are many "hidden" (mental) health conditions that can be polarising (e.g. bipolar!) this play is a first giving the limelight to PMDD. As far as I'm aware, there's never been a film, a play or even a book about it.

I'm grateful I got to see it, as this was its closing night.

I HAVE IT. I find it very difficult to admit. My hubby's family might read this for example. I just want to be seen as strong, capable, fun. Because my best self is ๐Ÿ’ฏ those things. Why can't she be there ๐Ÿ’ฏ of the time?!ย 

As well as admit, trying to explain what it actually is, even to your nearest and dearest, is also hard. 

My mum came to see the play with me, we shared many a knowing glance, sometimes with a smile appreciating the humour (its a comedy drama after all) and other times a sigh of sympathy, or a raised brow of wow, they are getting this spot on!ย

Another runderful @run_ofakind in Brum ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Thanks to the lovely group of 7 city explorers who joined me ๐Ÿซถ

These tours happen once a month on a Sunday morning. Culture + running + getting your 10k in ๐Ÿ‘Œ A relaxed jogging pace (around 6.30 min KMs but we tailor to the group) with 10 stops for a few minutes of Brum tales. 

AND something you donโ€™t realise until youโ€™re out thereโ€ฆ how different the city centre feels on a Sunday morning. The night before has faded, the streets are slowly waking up, the sunshine is spilling across the buildings, and thereโ€™s a calm, kind of magical atmosphere before the city gets going again. โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

A pretty special way to see Brum ๐Ÿงก

When asked what their one word describe Brum would be at the end, our runners said...

Finally got my ass to this one! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ As a Birmingham gal it's taken me far too long to get around to it...years it's been on the to do list! Also had a walk around the Elan Valley to-scale sculpture, another first I've been meaning to do for ages! 
Slightly overactive imagination today re the killer robo-swans ๐Ÿ˜† So glad I'm not working on Saturday mornings now so I can enjoy park running again ๐Ÿซถ

Always fun to try a new parkrun ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ‘Ÿโ˜€๏ธ

It's been ages since I tried a new #parkrun location.  Lichfield is where I grew up in my teens to early 20s. My cousin lives there now and is absolutely smashing his parkrun times lately so it was nice to have a run meet. We ran our own races... I wanted to go easier, no PB attempts for me on this one for various readiness reasons...but the main one being that I like to suss out new locations first. 

Two lap course, paths and light trail.

He got his PB โšกโšกโšก

Post run coffee at The Daily Grind... love a pun in a business name ๐Ÿ˜ƒโ˜•

Post run scones ๐Ÿ˜‹

Cappuccino โ˜• and OJ ๐ŸŠ

Post run email stats. A great thing about doing parkrun is getting this email. taken in Lichfield Beacon Park by @the_peachy_pt
