When you can't run, walk.....

[SueAppleRun]

Still not sleeping well, still feeling tired, still coughing a bit....but....I've been walking. Got back before the rain, just over 3 k, slow but great to be out.Happy New Year all.

Don’t overdo it but keep the walks going if you can it helped me

There’s loads of bug’s going around at the moment so take it easy

Thanks Kev, it's going on a bit this one, I've been walking about half hour every day and it does feel good

[Jools2020]

Happy New Year, Sue! Hope you kick this bug soon xx

[SueAppleRun in reply to Jools2020]

And to you Jools, it is going on a bit, the lack of sleep and energy xx

[Jools2020 in reply to SueAppleRun]

it does seem to be dragging on 😞

[Kevin1604]

I needed some antibiotics for a week

Maybe go see the doctor

If not just go steady

It wasn’t that bad that I couldn’t walk every day

[SueAppleRun in reply to Kevin1604]

Walking is good, I'm trying to make it a habit before my eye op so I carry on, by the time I can run again hopefully it'll be just a memory 😀 then I can start to build running into my days again.

[Kevin1604]

good look 👀 with the operation

[Gthants]

Yeah, walked yesterday too. Sleep is truly chronic right now! Gah!

[SueAppleRun in reply to Gthants]

I slept longer and better last night so maybe getting there

[Gthants in reply to SueAppleRun]

🤞

[misswobble]

same to you 😀👍😘

I thought my coughing nights were over but I had another session last night 😏. I feel better however so the only way is up ⬆️

I’m back out there and hope you will be running again soon. Walking is a great start 👍🙂🏃‍♀️

[SueAppleRun in reply to misswobble]

I actually feel like I could run a bit today but going to stick with walking at moment, my daughter has stopped coughing and it's 5 weeks for her so there's hope yet 😀

[misswobble in reply to SueAppleRun]

it’s not fair is it! Hmmmmmfffff! I huff and puff that it surely can’t happen with all the accumulated lung power we must have built up, only to succumb to hacking coughs, Bah ☹️

😁

[SueAppleRun in reply to misswobble]

Not fair at all but better than it was x

[misswobble in reply to SueAppleRun]

Good! Keep drinking loads of water! I’ve been gargling and using mouthwash plus chewing on Xylitol gum. Oh, and eating salty crisps 😀

[SueAppleRun in reply to misswobble]

Ssshhh don't mention food, I'm food obsessed at the moment and fasting til 4pm......got an hour to go but did make a hot marmite drink after my walk, we will soon be completely well and better weather is coming.

[PeggySusi]

Happy new year Sue.. Hope you will feel fully better in time for a successful eye surgery, and enjoy a bit of a rest afterwards..☺️

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

Happy New Year to you too Sue, thank you, I'm so much better than I was, I'm beginning to suspect laziness 🤣

[PeggySusi in reply to SueAppleRun]

Laziness! I don’t think so, going by your other post that I read today. I can say that you shamed me into getting off my bum today for a brisk walk/paddle on the cinder track with the dog. You’ve made me think I’m going to join you and try to make sure I walk every single day this year.. no excuses.. obviously having a dog does help with that.

[SueAppleRun in reply to PeggySusi]

Well we did 20 minutes on static bike in gym, had a little swim then sat in the steam room until we were too hit, then came home and had vegan lemon chicken with rice. I seem to have at least found a bit of energy 😁 I wish I had a dog, I go out with my daughter's dog and love him loads but it's not like having my own.

Good luck getting out for a walk, it's horrible weather at the moment but it'll eventually get better.

Happy new year 🎊

[SueAppleRun in reply to Teaching]

Happy New Year to you too

[Over60sRunner 1000miles per year]

Well done Sue. I too have been thwarted over the past couple of weeks by a rotten cold which has now resulted in many of my long Covid symptoms returning with a vengeance 🤔

Also, like you, I am just plodding along as best I can with some gentle walks, but no runs for over a fortnight now.

Keep on, keeping on. Be kind and gentle with yourself, and we will be back in the famous words of the Terminator 😀👍💪

[SueAppleRun in reply to Over60sRunner]

We certainly will be back 😁
