Back from holiday

Got back from a lovely 10 days of Egyptian sunshine in the early hours of Tuesday. As I had thought before I went running outside overe there wasn't possible but the hotel did have a well equipped gym so I gave it a go. I did some rowing which I liked, exercise bike which I also liked and cross trainer which was OK once I got the hang of it. I also did a bit on the treadmill. Not a huge fan but I felt I had to do something on it. So 4 sessions - about an hour each time and also a bit of swimming. I was feeling quite pleased with my efforts but then in the last night the dreaded dodgy stomach struck. Usually I don’t get this type of trouble but this time it was awful. Travelling back after that night was not pleasant. I didn't dare eat anything and only drank water. After a good sleep in my own bed I felt back to normal so I decided to try a run at about 3pm yesterday. Blimey it was tough going. Aside from the temperature - it had been 25 in Egypt the stomach bug had really taken it's toll. I managed a 5km run/walk/stagger before calling it quits. I'm hoping my fitness hasn't been knocked too much. I'm going to rest today and see what tomorrow brings.

Yeah, sounds like rest really is your only option. Make sure you get enough. Hope your back on it soon :)

Yes rest up, lots of fluids and hopefully you'll be fine.

Oh crikey! You might feel rough for a day or two but you sound to be on the mend. I'd stick to a bland diet for a bit and have a rest up ☺
