Can’t believe my luck. 😢

Got in on the red eye this morning. Coming home to take care of my mum and brother for two weeks. And hoping to get a sneaky Parkrun in too. 😃 Within hours of getting home I’m in bed and I’m running a temperature got chills and shivers and completely useless to everyone. 🥵 Feeling very sorry for myself. No Parkrun tomorrow unless a miracle happens between now and tomorrow. 😢

That is NOT FAIR. You poor thing! Hope given the sharpness, it is indeed a short one but take care of yourself eh?

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to GoogleMe]

Thank you GoogleMe, my temperature is down this morning so maybe on the mend? 🤞 fingers crossed

One unexpected benefit of a heart monitoring Fitbit is that infections (cf symptoms for other reasons) show up as elevated heart rate. Nothing a medic would pick up on but abnormal for me.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to GoogleMe]

That’s very interesting. I’ve just checked mine and it’s 70! 😦 That’s up from 50-55 which is where it normally hovers.

Flights are notoriously full of germs so unless we hold our breath for the duration of the flight we're liable to pick up all sorts 😷

Hope you feel better soon.

I know, I always wipe down the seat tray, seatbelt, tv screen and arm rests but I guess if it’s going to get you, it’s just going to get you.

Very frustrating Brian. Take it easy

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Thanks Jonathan I will. Stopping here in bed for a little while.

Oh! For a Parkun fan and after your journey, this isn't at all what was wanted. Get well soon.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you 61 🙏 I’m gutted. Sitting here in bed instead of going to the Parkrun. 😔

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

The irony is that this is the first bug I’ve had in over 10 years. I never catch colds or flu.

[Bridget007]

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon 😌

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Bridget007]

Thank you Bridget. 🙏🙏

[Jennypenny2 Graduate10]

Get well soon😷

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Jennypenny2]

Thank you Jenny. 🙏🙏

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

My temperature is just above normal this morning but cough and chest is not. I feel too weak to run. No Parkrun today. Getting better though! 😃

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Perhaps, particularly as you are fit, you'll recover in time for next week's parkrun. And hopefully be able to take care of your mum and brother as well.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Yes, I really really hope to be able to do at least one Parkrun.

[grumpyoldgirl]

Ah Brian that's rough luck, wishing you a speedy recovery. Hot lemon and honey for you! 🍵🍯🍋

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Thank you grumpy I’ve been good so far 😊

[Gran4z Graduate10]

Oh dear, what a shame. Hope you're feeling better today. Keep warm...and get plenty of warm drinks in.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Gran4z]

Thank you Gran4z. 🙏
