I was determined to run on Sunday in honour of Tim but I am afraid it was only a short one. Sunday always used to be my day for my long run ( fewer people about and less jobs/ commitments for me) but Saturday night I woke several times in the night, got up at 3.30 and made a Milo drink and read for a couple of hours and then just snoozed and woke, snoozed and woke until about 9. Dragged myself out of bed and into running gear and just fell out the door to run.
It was damp underfoot and a bit Misty, but not actually raining and fairly mild, so I thought I’d be ok as I set off on my warm up walk. But I seemed to be out of breath before I started. I thought it would improve after the Toxic 10 but no!!! I ended up running for 10 mins, walking for 1 min, ran for another 5, walked again and then didn’t even make 3 minutes before I just gave up. Barely 20 minutes and I felt so annoyed with myself. Not an enjoyable run but I did try to keep smiling all the way round I just could not seem to get enough oxygen in when I breathed. And I really wanted to do a nice long steady smiling run in Tims honour 😳
im putting it down to change in meds and drawing a line under it. I’ve been really suffering with my GERD and dr has told me to stop my Lanzoprazole for 2 weeks then once it’s all out of my system I have a barrage of tests to see if there is an underlying issue so I’m not going to beat myself up over the run ( well I’m trying not to anyway 😂😂) .
“ a run is a run”

yeah, me and my daughter both sat here tonight saying “ I don’t really feel quite right…. Bit sniffly, bit achey, tickly throat, slightly uncomfortable at soft palate and ears 🥴
After just getting over sinusitis I just don’t want another cold 😥
A run is indeed a run. You gave that to yourself despite everything. Now you need to not feel bad about it. But you don't need me to tell you that. I hope you feel much better soon. Be kind to yourself 💙
Sorry to hear that you are struggling with your meds at the moment limberlou , it must be so difficult to find the right one. But what you did was get out and try to do a run that Tim would be proud of and you succeeded. You adapted the run to your situation and there is no reason to beat yourself up. So a big well done to you. I hope the test results bring you to a better place. All the best to you.
thanks I hope so too. Unfortunately while I have been battling with this I have had a bout of sinusitis ( ended up with antibiotics) and just took the last tablet on Monday and now my “waterworks “ are playing up so it looks like another bout of antibiotics coming up now 🙄. There was me thinking l” oh that’s one less tablet in the mornings …. “ and that one has been replaced by loads of others. Oh joy!!
I haven’t run this week since Sunday as I e felt under the weather so hopefully next week will be a different story 🤞.
a run is a run if you walk run jog. Well done anyway. I can understand about your GErd. I am on Lanzoprazole for a month for troublesome acid . I’ll be the same as you if mines dosnt work. Fingers crossed for both of us.
Ive been on it for years!!! Omeprazole first until that upset my tummy then Lanzoprazole for the last 2 years, the dose was doubled earlier this year.!!!
To be honest I’ve been better since I stopped it !!! 😬
