Bump on the road

[damienair]

My Mojo was back. I had stepped up my running and was back enjoying it again. I did a 7K run yesterday with my Sister and after dinner I was wiped out. After an early night I woke this morning, my T-Shirt was damp and I had a very mild head cold. So just in case I did an antigen test before going to work. It was positive, so I have Covid-19. After escaping it for 2 years it has finally hit me. Thankfully it is a very mild dose, I have a very mild headache, sniffles and a tiny cough. A few days of rest and hopefully I’ll be out pounding the pavement again soon.

Rest well! xxx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Sorry about your mild dose of Covid, I am sure it won't be long before you are well again and able to get out and run, take care.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Well phooey, damienair - that’s really bad luck and it seems to be happening such a lot at the moment! I really hope you feel better again soon!

[damienair Administrator in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you. I have a very light almost non existent dose of it, other than being tired with a light headache. I have had worse head colds.

[TailChaser Graduate10]

Oh no Damien! Look after yourself xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Sorry to hear this Damienair. Take care and I hope the family stay negative. It seems to be hanging around for 10 days before a negative test.

[damienair Administrator in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy, I'm fine, I have almost non existant symptoms. Hopefully I'll be able to run again next week.

Heal well runner, it’s everywhere now but less severe for most it seems

[damienair Administrator in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you. Yes I have a very very mild dose. Thankfully.

Good to hear

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Sorry to hear this , Let's hope it's mild ....take care , hope your well soon 🤞

[damienair Administrator in reply to Instructor57]

Cheers, so far so good. I have very mild symptoms. Hopefully I'll be able to run again next week.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Finger's crossed 🤞

[Sandie1961 Graduate10]

I hardly know anybody who hasn’t had it in the last 3 months, but generally no worse than a sniffle. It does get very boring sitting around at home though, so hope you’ve got plenty to keep you occupied! Take it steady when you get out again and hope you’re negative again soon xx

[damienair Administrator in reply to Sandie1961]

I’m working from home so keeping busy. My symptoms are very mild.

[MissUnderstanding Administrator Graduate10]

Rotten luck-there’s so much about at the moment. My main symptom was just tiredness this time. Go slow when you’re back out again.

[damienair Administrator in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thanks, yes I get tired after 8pm and I’m in bed by 10. Thankfully symptoms are very light.

[GTFC Graduate10]

Wishing you well damienair in your recovery 🙏

[damienair Administrator in reply to GTFC]

Cheers mate. I’m ok with it, just a cough and a sniffle. I’m working from home. I’ve had worse head colds.

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

Hi Damien, sorry ro hear you're poorly, but with numbers rising rapidly we are all at risk, so bad luck. I'm sure your fitness and normal good health will help you shake it off soon.Best wishes ☺️

[damienair Administrator in reply to Raisemeup]

Thank you. So far it is just a slight sniffle and cough. I feel good.

[RunWillie Graduate10]

Get well soon damienair 👍🏻Hope the rest of the family stay well. I stayed locked inside with hubby and our five boys without testing positive. I’m sure I had it though.

[damienair Administrator in reply to RunWillie]

I’m just working from home, and I’m not too bad with it. I get tired in the evenings but other than a cough and a sniffle I’m OK. Everyone else here so far is negative and we are all vaccinated.

[RunWillie Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

That’s good to hear. Take it easy. My husband worked through it but was lacking energy for awhile.

[Sandie1961 Graduate10 in reply to RunWillie]

That seems quite common. I just had a couple of days of sniffles, but energy and stamina took a couple of weeks to return properly!

[nowster Graduate10]

Take it easy!

I'm still waiting for my PCR test result. Merely feeling a little grotty, with a scratchy throat. But that could be an unrelated sinus infection the like of which I'm prone to.

[damienair Administrator in reply to nowster]

Hopefully you will get a negative test result. I'm OK so far. I have very mild symptoms.

[nowster Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Mine was negative (and took ages). Herself's was positive (and came early this morning).

On that basis I had a walk this evening, keeping well out of the way of other folks.

[damienair Administrator in reply to nowster]

Fantastic, great to hear. Hope your wife is ok and recovery is quick.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Oh no, it seems to be everywhere at the moment! Take care, wishing you a speedy recovery 🤗

[damienair Administrator in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thank you.

[Katnap Graduate10]

So how are you feeling now Damienair?

[damienair Administrator in reply to Katnap]

I'm thankfully OK, I have a very mild cough and a very slight background headache. I get tired in the evening but that is all. I have had worse head colds. I'm just working from home and resting. If I had not done a test I wouldn't think I had it.

[Katnap Graduate10 in reply to damienair]

Thank the stars you were thoughtful enough to check! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Get well soon damienair - hope your symptoms stay mild.

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Sorry to hear that Damien - hope it stays mild
