2k Friday Morning Recovery Run 🏃🏾‍♀️

[Fabulous450]

Well Runners

Laying in bed was ok yesterday but by the afternoon it was getting too much. I think it was enough to get me back to having a better sleep.

Now this morning I knew I wasn’t going to repeat the partial duvet day again! 😣 Although there’s still a bit of 🤧 going on, I felt up to the aptly named “recovery run” of 2k in my programme. So I’m out! I even got out the shorts today! Why not? I thought that may help to keep me cool in case I went into river mode again! 😅

And 2k was lovely! A nice bit of warmth on the skin, running around the wider field of Little Park. There’s not a lot to see, but it was nice to be outdoors. A comfortable 2k in 16 minutes! I did feel a little burning breathing through the nose, but nothing too off putting. I’ll have it! 😃 I feel so much better now too.

I’m hopeful to be back out on Sunday, but I’m not sure if it will be a run on the programme if it’s due to be a long one. 🤔 Running will still be here when I’m fit enough to do it. 😍

Happy running everyone! ❤️

Take it at the pace you can and enjoy it!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

Thanks Jay! Yes that’s the plan. If it feels like it’s going to be a punishment, I definitely won’t be doing it!! 😂❤️

Look after yourself! 😁

Sympathy for the 🤧.

Encouragement for the run.

👏 for going out when you not A1. ✔✔✔✔✔

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to theoldfellow]

Fresh air was great and the park was very quiet so it was nice!! ❤️

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Well done Fabulous! Thinking back to C25k, isn't it lovely now running 2km can be seen as 'recovery'?😁

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

🤣😱 yes you’re right!! Gosh, I did look at what was next and casually say “Oh yeah, that’s good, I’m going, I can do a 2k”! Amazing! 😍. ❤️

[Jelon]

Well done you for going out when you’re not feeling fab, you continue to be amazing. Take care of yourself. 🏃🏾‍♀️😊🤧👍🏽

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Jelon]

Thanks Jelon. I think that run was just what the Dr ordered. Feeling so much better. Probably the endorphins, but I’ll have it! Evenings get a bit tricky, but not bad at all so far. 😁❤️

[Wizziewood Graduate10]

Well done for getting out there! ... you're right to take it easy. 'Listen to your body' as they say!

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Wizziewood]

Thanks Wizziewood! A little gentle run in some sun (without the scorch) was lovely. 😁❤️

[Little-runner]

A very healthy approach to keeping healthy! Take it easy and you’ll be doing your long runs sooner than you think! X

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Little-runner]

Thanks Little-runner. That short run was so nice. Out and in, but a good pick me up! ❤️

[telford_mike Graduate10]

Glad to hear you’re feeling better Fab. Had my short run yesterday, but it was 4k. It didn’t seem very short to me! Take it easy 😀👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to telford_mike]

Go you Mike! I don’t think I would have coped with a 4K today, but it’s great to hear you calling it a short run!! 😂! One day maybe. 😉❤️

[Dralimc]

I had a similar running through a cold run in Monday. Like you, felt better for it! Relax with book now! X

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Dralimc]

Aah thanks Dralimc! I’m out this afternoon for late lunch with some friends. I didn’t think I’d be making it, but feeling ok. I’m craving an ice cream rather than the food. Hopefully I’m not passing on any germs. 😬❤️

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

👏👏👏

I ran through mild colds last winter (usually only 2 or 3km) and I swear it helped with any congestion! Only time I wouldn’t run is if I am extremely feverish/fatigued or chesty. Glad it blew away some cobwebs; well done on getting out there. Hope you are back up to 100% soon, Fab. x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thanks Sadie!! Yes that’s the perfect description, “blowing off the cobwebs”! 🕸! It was just right!! 😃❤️

[Myrar]

Take care fab ...Well done getting out there ...All the best 😊😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Myrar]

Thank you Myrar! I will. You too!! ❤️

[mountaindreamer Graduate10]

Well done, but don’t go too mad until you’re fully better! ❤️🏃‍♀️❤️

I’m impressed you can breathe through your nose at all with a cold! 👍😊 (It’s something I fail at completely, as my nose always feels swollen inside even when I’m fine. I just had to ignore all Laura’s nose breathing advice and accept it wasn’t going to work at all...😕)

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to mountaindreamer]

Thank you!! It’s nose for two, mouth for two in time with the feet! Sounds like a dance doesn’t it? 🤣 I felt a lot better today, so it was doable. ❤️

[Eiralas]

Sounds like it was exactly the right run for you in the circumstances 🙂 Glad it's helped the recovery along x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Eiralas]

Thank you! 😍 Yes not too long Eiralas! It was just right for me today. 😁❤️

[Vix_yp Graduate10]

Sounds great Fabulous450! 👏👏👏 You take care of yourself, running will always be waiting for you! I hope you feel better soon! 😘🤗 x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Vix_yp]

Thanks Vix! That’s right. It’s better to decide to do a short run, rather than go out and push too hard. I felt ok today! 😁❤️

[Vix_yp Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

So pleased for you! You will be back to full strength in no time. 😘👍
