Annual leave day but feeling not so well on wakening up. 🛌🌅 But sunny weather got me out, 1 hour after I heard the tell-tale sign of our front door opening once, then a second time 25 min later. 🚪🚪
This was my newly-running son slipping out at dawn and running his 3-4K lap before heading to school! (Yeah, right!? ⁉️I am still astounded! See healthunlocked.com/bridgeto... )😃🚶🏼🏃🏽
So an hour later, me feeling leaden and slow, I went out anyway, because how can you not on an annual leave day!!??? 🏃🏽♀️
But it felt not quite right. My legs felt like led. My stomach had been acting up and also did not feel ok. 🤒 So I cut my route short, and started heading back early after 15 min ⏱, but my Zombie Chapter had not quite finished, so decided to run the dog walk circle 🦮, which is a large grassy field with a circumference trail of ca 1k. 🧟♀️
Of course once you start, you have to finish that circle ⭕️ and I realised a third way through, that the sharp pain in the inner left foot area meant I had forgotten to take out the thorn 🗡out of my shoe, poking through the sole, and which I had picked up at the end of my last run on Sat! Doh! I meant to pull that out before the next run! 🤦🏻♀️
But, yup, couldn’t stop, even feeling ill, thorn in shoe, audio chapter not finished📻.... of course I had to run on. 🚀🐌
Finished run, showered 🚿 , did yoga 🧘🏻♀️ and still felt ill 🤧 . But I did all that and am mightily proud.
Now it’s raining ☔️ . Husband has developed a cough 😷 and is now testing for Covid, so that might explain everything. But both of us have had both jabs
💉, so I’m sure we will not be struck too badly if indeed it catches us out.❓
(20min later and tests indicate negative, so maybe just the ‘normal’ sneezes and coughs 🤧 that go around?)
And I certainly am feeling better for having run! 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽
