Sick bed

[Belindauk]

I'm laying in bed feeling sorry for myself aching, dizzy and wondering if my body will be up for W4 R1 tomorrow, after a night of being sick and diarrhoea. I'm drinking plenty of water, well a touch of flavoured water, hopefully flushing out whatever infection I have. Boooohooo ;-(

I really don't want to have a week off? Any advice anyone?

Please don't rush into it if you are unwell. Only you will know of course but you will be weak and may need some time to recover. Take care of yourself

Thank you

If you are being sick and have diarrhea do not even consider going for a run. One set of runs at a time is more than enough. You will do yourself no favours at all and hinder your recovery from illness and your running progress. There is no need to be in a race to complete C25k, especially at the expense of your health.

Good advice, maybe not what I wanted to hear but knew that I need to rest until completely better again. Thank you

Oh Bee, what a palaver ! I really hope you feel better soon, hey, I just thought I could take your trainers out for a test run, you know , those lovely spanking new shooos you have, just my size n'all

Aw B, don't rush back too soon, you need a bit of rest to get over this , take care xxx

I know poppy and thank you.

Errrrrr no those spanking new shoes of mine are locked away until further notice. Plus I would hate you to get blisters

I am going to rest in bed All day today and see how I feel tomorrow morning, hopefully I will be up and running again real soon.

Oh you poor sausage! Don't even consider running tomorrow. Give yourself at least 72 hours to get over it. Your fitness won't disappear overnight, I promise.

I have to agree with every one else, take it easy and get your full health back. A few days away will not cost you anything in terms of fitness but going out whilst still peaky could make you a lot worse.

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to beforefifty]

Very true beforefifty, trust me to get poorly. Didn't realise I would miss running as much as I am addictive huh

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. It sounds like you're hydrating as you should, but do also make sure you do also eat something, like some rice or dry bread. You don't need much to eat, but it is best to get a little something solid in the stomach.

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to Moickle]

Thanks Michael, I am going to try and have a little something today, as yesterday I just couldn't stomach anything.

[misswobble Graduate]

I'd say it depends on how you feel in the morning. Wrung out dish rag is not much cop, in which case I'd stay in bed

If, however, you rise filled with the joys of spring then I'd get out there and run. After some porridge mind you.

[Belindauk Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Thank you miss wobble, yesterday I could not move well only to the loo and back. Today I can lift my head off the pillow, so today I will rest and try and eat a little something and hopefully tomorrow I will run W4 R1

[mancbird Graduate]

Exercise whilst I'll is no fun and is of no benefit. Get your body back into healthy condition so that you enjoy your runs (sorry bad joke ;-). ) x

Thank you kittykat, I know the best thing is to rest. Was just beating myself up a little. As I have a 10k charity event coming up this Saturday
