Things are going really well for me. I’m loving getting fit – walking, running, swimming, push-ups, pull-ups. And I have no doubt and no fear about any of it. It’s what I want to do, and I’m doing it. How brilliant is that?<\/cite><\/p>\n I did have a wobble yesterday because I’d slacked off doing LP properly. Things have changed so much, so quickly, that I thought I could do without it when I saw The Pit approaching. I know, I know…. DUH!! :)))<\/cite><\/p>\n Anyhow, I’ve been more diligent today. Result: no more overwhelmed etc, 7.5 mile bike ride with Charlie (I can’t even remember the last time I did that) and I feel fantastic \ud83d\ude42<\/cite><\/p>\n Thank you so *very* much for putting me on this track. Anyone who knows me has their jaw on the floor. You were a great teacher – just the right mix of inspiration, compassion and challenge – at just the right time. Thank you thank you thank you.<\/cite><\/p>\n Speak to you soon,<\/cite><\/p>\n Lots of love,<\/cite><\/p>\n Imogen<\/cite><\/p>\n Dear Kathy<\/cite><\/p>\n Hello! I’m sure this finds you in good health \ud83d\ude42<\/cite><\/p>\n I remembered the other day how important it was for me to see the testimonies on your webpage – particularly the ones from LPers confirming that their recoveries had ‘stuck’, so I thought I’d join in. I’m still duing brilliantly.<\/cite><\/p>\n My birthday was in May and I asked for (and was lucky enough to be given) a new mountain bike with front suspension. So quite different to my previous 5 birthdays, when I requested books! Charlie and I now go to Thetford Forest quite regularly to ride the trails there. In July I did a local Forget Me Not 10 mile sponsored walk for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research; and in August Charlie and I had a long weekend camping in the Peak District, enjoying two big walks in two days (five and a half hours, and seven and a half hours – see attached photo), and took in Chatsworth House on the way home.<\/cite><\/p>\n Best of all, we’ve just got back from an amazing fortnight in Snowdonia. Six months ago I wouldn’t even have contemplated the drive to Wales, let alone doing anything when I got there…. but now? We climbed Cadair Idris (800m ascent\/descent, over eight and a half hours), explored part of the Rhinogs (500m ascent\/descent with a 10kg pack, over eight and a half hours – see photo), had brief forays onto Snowdon and Tryfan (weather was foul and very exciting) and did two fairly epic mountain bike trails in Coed y Brenin (world famous mountain bike centre). The rest of the time we were exploring local towns and bits of coastline.<\/cite><\/p>\n Oh – and I’ve applied to be reinstated to my university’s Graduate Register, with a PhD submission date of 1st January 2012. And it is definitely happening this time!<\/cite><\/p>\n So many thanks again, Kathy, for giving me the skills to do all this. I really am living the life I love. xx Imogen<\/cite><\/p>\n I’d like to send you a 2-year update for your website. I think it’s good for people to know that you stay well with the LP \ud83d\ude42<\/cite><\/p>\n In a nutshell, I’m still duing great. We’re really enjoying hiking, in particular. The photo was taken last year during a fantastic 3-day 50km hike in the Cairngorms. I also climbed Snowdon last May, and Scafell Pike this September – which leaves the third peak, Ben Nevis, for my 3-year LP anniversary next year. Work-wise, I had my PhD viva on the 7th February, and my thesis passed with minor corrections, which was great, to put it mildly! A week later I flew off to the States to give a paper at Yale, as part of an academic consultation. Charlie came along too, so that we could enjoy 5 days in New York afterwards. We had the best time ever! Highlights: ice-skating in Central Park, The Lion King on Broadway, and a concert at Carnegie Hall. I’m also enjoying writing a book with a friend and doing more preaching at our church. So it’s all go, and all good. As ever – thank you!<\/cite><\/p>\n Love,<\/cite><\/p>\n Imogen<\/cite><\/p>\n Two weeks after the Lightning Process I’ve been meaning to email for a few days now, but you know how it goes when you’ve got your life back…..! Things are going really well for me. I’m loving getting fit – … Continue reading Six months after the Lightning Process<\/h4>\n
