We ran a very emotional park run today – it was in memory of the wonderful, talented wife of good friend and fellow vet who lost his wife to breast cancer. He was there with his 2 children and their family dog – all so deeply saddened by the tragedy in their lives but so good to see them there and realise that they have each other and the support of all of us at work.
As vets we deal so much with death and illness and not being able to make your own loved ones better when we know how to make animals better plays heavily on us as professionals.
This is what I have eaten today having done the 5km park run in a good time for me of 30 minutes:) –
