The pain of not running...for two weeks!๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Only managed one run back after a nasty virus before going down with another flu-like cold which then turned in to Laryngitis! Still coughing away this evening, although I am definately starting to feel a lot better. Really missing my running at the moment and so keen to get back out there as soon as I can. In the meantime I am getting my fix by reading about everyone's runs on here! Happy running๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™‚!

That does sound frustrating. Maybe you're a bit run-down and the break from school over Christmas should help. Hope you feel up to running normally again soon.

I'm the same - over a week since I developed bronchitis - never thought I'd be saying that I was missing going out running!! :D

Let's hope we're both back out there soon!

I feel your pain :(

'Marche et Mourrier' the French Foreign Legion say.

I always thought it was a threat until I started this running lark - now I know its a gift ;)

๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks Irish-John. Sounds like snow might be keeping you in soon....โ˜น๏ธ๏ธ

I will try running in snow - its icy paths that fill me with fear. :( I broke two vertebrae years ago and do not want to repeat that kind of pain and consequence :(

Hoping the High School track will be an option, otherwise it could be a long sedentary winter :(

Three weeks and counting!๐Ÿ˜  Still coughing but getting there! Think my cold turned in to bronchitis, it has been horrible not running! Lots of folk at work are the same. Nevermind, shouldn't complain - am sure I will be back out there soon.โ˜บ
