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

[Run46]

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 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍

Happy New Year guys 💕

Hope you're feeling so much better. We may be crazy but we're fitter for it😂

Happy New year 🍾🍾

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

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

I know, I know, I think I got away with it though 😉...back I work tomorrow too so defo having an early night tonight.

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.

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

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 😊

Great stuff Run46, you saw that cold off and started 2020 on a high. Really well done. Bet you’re glad you went out. 😀👏👍

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

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

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Yipee! Happy New Year. We just have to go with the flow. Hope the fresh air and exercise has banished the cold for good!

Here's to a great running year🏃‍♀️😁

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

Fingers crossed, I'm hoping it's got bored now it knows I'm ignoring it 😉

Yes...here's to a great running year for all of us 🎉

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

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

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Sandie1961]

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 😊

[Deals1 Graduate10]

Hope the run helped the cold. Happy New year 🎉

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Well I tried resting and it just hung around so I'm hoping to run it out of town 😉👟

[Deals1 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

That's my plan too. 👍

[Run46 Graduate10 in reply to Deals1]

Good luck 👍
