10km Event Sunday - sore throat and sinus 😩

Yesterday I woke up with the shivers and a sore throat. I took it very easy but I still have the sore throat today, luckily no shivers. It's very rare I get stuff for more than a day with cold sort of stuff. I'm now worried it won't of gone by Sunday. I have made the decision not to run this week just walk to keep my arthritis at bay but probably not today. It's such a bugger it looks like a perfect day for a run in London today. I can get over this by Sunday can't I?

Metatone tonic might help I had chest infection a few weeks ago and took this for a week and ran 10k yesterday πŸ™‚ Helps boost immune system can buy from supermarkets under Β£5 xx

Which 10K were you running, Dawn? I ran the Heaton Harriers Memorial 10K on Town Moor, Newcastle yesterday morning. I didn't spot you there, though there were quite a few Blackhill Bounders running. Have you joined them yet?

Get something from the chemist to give your immune system boost. And I'm a great believer in the power of sleep. Try to get as much as you can in the next few days and I bet you'll feel much better.

I use a sleep hypnosis app I find that helps at times like this, thank you.

I use a guy called Andrew Johnson, his hypnosis apps have helps me through some pretty bad times, I follow him on Twitter and he comes across as such a lovely person as well. The apps are well priced for what you get I think.

Thank you for that RFC. I have really bad sleeping patterns and would love to find a solution. Will take a look at this....

Thank you, my Dad lives in Yorkshire and I ring him every day so we often comparing the weather. It sometimes goes the other way as well were he has had a great day. I'm sure I will be fine by Sunday.

Hope you feel better soon - but don't pressure yourself.

Thank you. I have already told myself there are three stages to consider, I'm not well enough leave it, (judging how I feel today that is unlikely as I am picking up) 2nd walk it, I can do it in The cut off time 1:45, 3rd my normal run/walk. Hehe I am growing up! It surprises me sometimes how running makes you make sensible choices the more you get into it.
