A gentle run after a few days off

[MikeJones68]

I've had a sore throat and headache since last Friday so haven't been out for a run since last Thurs. I made myself go tonight with the aim of doing a 5k to just keep things going. After taking some ibuprofen to stop my head hurting I actually managed to keep going a little further. Happy to be back in my trainers

Nice run Mike, thought you’d been a bit quiet 😊

Well done on getting out Mike! I've read previously that ibuprofen is not a good drug to combine with running, worth checking it out online. Lots of varying opinions but i thought I'd mention it!

[MikeJones68 Graduate10 in reply to aliboo70]

Thanks. I did wonder about the ibuprofen.....

I like your idea of a gentle run, Mike! Hope you are feeling better.

[Hidden]

Gentle run??? Gentle run!!! I could only dream of that pace when pushing myself fast downhill...

Sorry! I don't know what it is with my legs lately. They just seem to work these days!

Sorry Flick! It did feel gentle compared to last weeks "sprints" :\

Insert gruff voice - "No, I am Batman"

[Hidden in reply to MikeJones68]

Lol- being barman doesn't involve wearing your knickers over your tights!

It doesn’t? Rats!
