First attempt at doubles.
4 weeks after a hospital visit.
4 weeks into recovering from costochondritis.
And honestly… my head struggled to focus.
I felt like I wasn’t fully switched on. I knew I had more in me, but mentally, I just couldn’t find it.
But on reflection…
MY BODY STILL DID THIS. 💪
It showed up. It kept moving. It pushed through. It did the work — even when my head was struggling to keep up.
Sometimes we’re so focused on what we didn’t do that we forget to recognise what we actually achieved.
So yeah… maybe it wasn’t my best performance.
But 4 weeks after hospital?
I’ll take that win.
Progress doesn’t always look perfect.
Sometimes it looks like simply turning up and proving to yourself that you can. 🖤💪
