5K New Years Day run and I couldn't be more pleased 😁

I had plans for so many runs over the Christmas period and a 10 miler on New Years Day!

With having 12 days off work nothing was going to stop me...until a heavy cold hit on Christmas eve!!!

So after 9 days without running and feeling a bit better this morning, I dosed myself up and set off (yes I know, maybe not too sensible going out for a run if you've got to take tablets before hand but I was starting to feel like I'd never run again).

It wasn't my fastest or my longest but who gives a damn...I was running! I even enjoyed stretching out after.

I love running and the way it makes me feel...and belonging to a forum of like minded crazy people who get it πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘

Happy New Year guys πŸ’•

Hope you're feeling so much better. We may be crazy but we're fitter for itπŸ˜‚

Happy New year 🍾🍾

Yes...and it turns feeling fitter and stronger is so much more empowering than just trying to be slimmer!

Sorry to hear you've been poorly - and it must have been great to get out again today! *teacher voice* remember to rest now though, your body's probably still recovering from the bug :-D

Happy new year, sorry you've been unwell such a shame while on holiday but sadly with stressful lives it happens too often. Well done on your return run. Go celebrate.

Thanks G2B, so annoying but it does often seem to happen when you finally relax!

So glad to be back out there, am back in work tomorrow too but at least there's only 2 days until the weekend 😊

So glad...I know 9 days isn't much more than a week but it felt like forever!

It always happens doesn’t it? A few days off work and within 3 days you come down with the lurgy. Hope the run blew away the remaining bugs and you’re fully fit again soon

I know, drives me mad...I tried to stay busy this year too, must have finally taken my foot off the pedal Christmas eve and it took advantage!

Fingers crossed it's on it's way now so I can keep running happy 😊
