First medal 😊

Received my first medal this week for running 25 miles in January. I managed 40 miles in the end which I’m really happy with but disaster has struck and I’m now full of flu 🤧

I’ve not ran for ages due to visiting friends and then the dreaded lurgy arriving. Feel like I’ve been battered with a baseball bat! May have to start really carefully when I can manage a run again...

Lovely bling, well done.

Get well first then take an easy run and see how it feels. You can take it from there 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻

Wooohooo! Well done! I'm very impressed. 😄

Sympathy re the flu - I am struggling to get going again after that. I keep thinking I am better, go out for a cautious run/walk and then back come the symptoms. 😦 Take care & get well soon.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to feeling well enough to attempt a run. Waking about is a bit of a struggle at the mo! 😊

Sounds like time to be horizontal with a little single malt! Take care xx

Well done, it is lovely bling. Last January I did a marathon in a month, i.e. ran 26 miles. This was not long after my graduation. A year later and I have my 50 mile medal for January having run 67 miles. Next year you will be such a different runner. The flu will slow you down but not for long. Take it easy and plan your next bling!

Thanks that’s very encouraging! I’m hoping I’m not out of action for too long. Would love to progress as well as you have 😊
