I got some bad news on Friday.  My best friend from secondary school died :(
We hadn't talked to each other since she had a go at me and called me some pretty nasty names at the end of college (just the thing you want before you head to university [/sarcasm]), but it still hit pretty hard.  She was diagnosed with Crohn's about a year before I was.  I don't know why she died, but apparently she had been in a lot of pain recently, so it could have been anything.  She just didn't wake up that morning.
My boyfriend travelled up to me the next day (3 hour drive) even though he was going to spend the weekend with his mum with it being Mother's day and all.We spent the weekend together, and he even took Monday off to look after me.  He was going to leave Monday night, but then the snow arrived.  He was snowed in.  So he had Tuesday off too.  It wasn't a lot of snow, but with it being a 3 hour drive when the roads are clear, he didn't want to risk anything.  Plus it took a colleague of his 3 hours to get from the office to his home, which is usually only a 20 minute drive down a motorway.

On a slightly different note, I haven't done any training this week for my 10km with my dad in May.  I just haven't felt up to it.  I think I'm having a Crohn's flare, which is not good for my training or work.  However, I have done a lot in the past few weeks (approximately 82km since January) so I think I'm allowed a week off.  The furthest I have walked so far is only 5km, but I'm getting there.
