I'll start by saying I haven't read anything for a week, so good on you guys that have done well and commiserations to those that haven't

I should have done w5 D2 on Sunday last, w5D3 Tuesday, by now I should be well on my way to graduation. I'm not.

I woke up last weekend with a sore throat, little did I know it was a warning of what was to come😟 I've been laid up all week😟 I'm only now feeling semi human😳 Still exhausted though!!!

I really understand now, how frustrating it is when you can't run, I'm getting so agitated , I want to run! Good luck people, stay healthy👍😀🌶

Get well soon, Jalapenolover101 ! A lot of people seem to have succumbed at the moment. Be kind to yourself; you'll be out there soon enough.

Get well soon Jalapenolover101 ..

These lurgys do knock the stuffing out of you. Hopefully rest and getting enough fluids will help. Those runs will still be waiting for you when you are better....

Take care.xx

There have been some really manky lurgys about this winter, I've had my share too. Not much point in running, especially at your stage, save it for when you'll be sure to succeed. Running will wait for you, take care xx
