Success!

Well I took on board all the great advice from you guys...listened to my body and decided to give run 1 of week 8 a go despite feeling rather rough....and I did it. I didn't even cough until I stopped...and then I think the man passing by might have thought my time had come :-S

However it didn't last long and I am now settled on the sofa with my hot Ribena ( oh the luxury).... Thanks again for your support.. Feeling quite chuffed with myself :-)

Wow! That's absolutely brilliant. I can't yet imagine doing week 8 fully fit (currently on w5) let alone when ill. Enjoy that Ribena ;)

Well done! I've just done run 1, week 8. It was ok! Was quite surprised with myself. But I probably would have chickened out if I felt like you! Run 2 will be even better for you hopefully!

I did feel the last few minutes..but in light of having the lurgy I guess that's to be expected. Hoping to tackle run 2 tomorrow.. Good luck with yours :-)

Well done on completing your run !

Have you had the sore throat/cough lurgy ? Theres loads with it at the moment ... xxx

He he..yes there's something very comforting about hot Ribena. Yes..unfortunately I think my kids passed it on to me..tickly throat..horrid cough..and pounding head. Hopefully on the mend now. Hoping to tackle run 2 of week 8 tomorrow ;-)
