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 wasnโ€™t going to repeat the partial duvet day again! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ Although thereโ€™s still a bit of ๐Ÿคง going on, I felt up to the aptly named โ€œrecovery runโ€ of 2k in my programme. So Iโ€™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! ๐Ÿ˜…

And 2k was lovely! A nice bit of warmth on the skin, running around the wider field of Little Park. Thereโ€™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. Iโ€™ll have it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I feel so much better now too.

Iโ€™m hopeful to be back out on Sunday, but Iโ€™m not sure if it will be a run on the programme if itโ€™s due to be a long one. ๐Ÿค” Running will still be here when Iโ€™m fit enough to do it. ๐Ÿ˜

Happy running everyone! โค๏ธ

Thanks Jay! Yes thatโ€™s the plan. If it feels like itโ€™s going to be a punishment, I definitely wonโ€™t be doing it!! ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ

Well done Fabulous! Thinking back to C25k, isn't it lovely now running 2km can be seen as 'recovery'?๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ฑ yes youโ€™re right!! Gosh, I did look at what was next and casually say โ€œOh yeah, thatโ€™s good, Iโ€™m going, I can do a 2kโ€! Amazing! ๐Ÿ˜. โค๏ธ

Well done you for going out when youโ€™re not feeling fab, you continue to be amazing. Take care of yourself. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿคง๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Thanks Jelon. I think that run was just what the Dr ordered. Feeling so much better. Probably the endorphins, but Iโ€™ll have it! Evenings get a bit tricky, but not bad at all so far. ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

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

Thanks Wizziewood! A little gentle run in some sun (without the scorch) was lovely. ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

Thanks Little-runner. That short run was so nice. Out and in, but a good pick me up! โค๏ธ

Glad to hear youโ€™re feeling better Fab. Had my short run yesterday, but it was 4k. It didnโ€™t seem very short to me! Take it easy ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to telford_mike

Go you Mike! I donโ€™t think I would have coped with a 4K today, but itโ€™s great to hear you calling it a short run!! ๐Ÿ˜‚! One day maybe. ๐Ÿ˜‰โค๏ธ

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

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to Dralimc

Aah thanks Dralimc! Iโ€™m out this afternoon for late lunch with some friends. I didnโ€™t think Iโ€™d be making it, but feeling ok. Iโ€™m craving an ice cream rather than the food. Hopefully Iโ€™m not passing on any germs. ๐Ÿ˜ฌโค๏ธ

I ran through mild colds last winter (usually only 2 or 3km) and I swear it helped with any congestion! Only time I wouldnโ€™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

Well done, but donโ€™t go too mad until youโ€™re fully better! โค๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโค๏ธ

Iโ€™m impressed you can breathe through your nose at all with a cold! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š (Itโ€™s something I fail at completely, as my nose always feels swollen inside even when Iโ€™m fine. I just had to ignore all Lauraโ€™s nose breathing advice and accept it wasnโ€™t going to work at all...๐Ÿ˜•)

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to mountaindreamer

Thank you!! Itโ€™s nose for two, mouth for two in time with the feet! Sounds like a dance doesnโ€™t it? ๐Ÿคฃ I felt a lot better today, so it was doable. โค๏ธ

Fabulous450Graduate10 in reply to Vix_yp

Thanks Vix! Thatโ€™s right. Itโ€™s better to decide to do a short run, rather than go out and push too hard. I felt ok today! ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ
