Week 7

Well I've got to week 7 and did my first run of the week on New Year's Day. Now have got an awful cold which has triggered my breathing problems. What am I most fed up about? Not being able to do run number 2 tomorrow!

Isn't it amazing that we now get frustrated when we can't run!! Don't worry - I had nearly 2 weeks off during week 6 cue to a chest infection - now I'm on week 8 (with another cold which has affected my breathing!!) - we will both get there!!!!

It's a chest infection now so steroids and antibiotics -gggrrrrrrrrrr. Hope you're starting to feel a bit better.

Grrr - hope the steroids and antib's stat to work soon! I'm now feeling better - still got a rattly cough, but it didn't get in the way of my running today!

Spoken like a true runner! It's very disappointing when we can't get out there, isn't it? But I wish you well, in the meantime just imagine where your future runs will take you. 😊

Same for me, I feel your pain. Week 7 run 1 had the start of a cold and could not manage the last five minutes. Then R2 the same happened, I could not complete the whole 25 minutes with a cold, it knocked me back, but I just repeated until I got W7R1 under by belt which I completed Wednesday after attempt 3. So Its all possible nothing will stop us.

I might have a go again on Monday and see how far I get. It's so frustrating isn't it!
