First run in 9 days

[Reggit]

Ouch!

Been laid up for over a week with a horrible lurgy.

Woke up this morning at silly o clock (5.30am) and realised I could breathe properly again. I found myself lacing my shoes up Even though not feeling on top of the world and taking myself out for a short 3k run.

Crikey, my thighs are feeling it now haha.

Think it’s going to take a few more weeks than I expected to get to 10k

You take care. Our family all had lurgy a few weeks ago, it does take some time to get over, slow and steady. Happy running 🤗

Today's random fact: the word lurgy was introduced to the English language by a certain pairing of Eric Sykes and Spike Milligan in 1954, thusly:

PS. The repeated references to Oldham suggest that Eric Sykes wrote the bulk of the script.

Ooh, The Goon Show - what a brilliant find nowster! Life’s not the same without them!

I actually saw Spike and Harry back in 1997 at the Goon Show convention in Brighton. I asked Harry to sign my hotel bill, which seemed to appeal to his sense of humour.

Well done Reggit, think I’d probably have stayed under the duvet! Very impressed that you got out there so quickly!
