A rather nippy 5k today, cold that is, certainly not fast :)

Well running wise it hasn't been a great couple of months for me, mainly due to colds that never seem to go away. I was just thinking I was feeling OK then was hit by booster jab side effects which knocked me out for a further four days. I've still been running but distance and frequency have been reduced, there's been a lot of weeks where I've been no where near my 20k weekly target. Garmin tells me my V02 max is 43, so that's dropped a bit too. Anyway onwards and upwards and fingers crossed I can get back to some sort of running normality now. I hope everybody has been faring better and is OK in these troubled times 😬🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Real credit for doing what you could with how you felt. You're out there and that is really everything 👏👏👏

Hi @orangeguy hope you get over your colds soon. Rest up and take it easy maybe? 🤗

Good luck with your running next month orangeguy. Every run is beneficial, however short.

That is so true 👍😀

Your running sounds just like mine at the moment OG. I don’t lose running mojo often, but this weather is testing me. I too have had colds, and my arm is hurting after yesterday’s booster. Which is why I’m sitting in the car procrastinating now.

Still, you’re back, so I’m going to shift myself. Thanks for the boot! 🥾

Hope you made it, yes testing times all round I think, any run is better than no run I keep telling myself 😄

I did thanks. Although it was an absolute shocker and I didn’t enjoy a single moment! But yes, it was a run, and it was better (just) than nothing! 😅
