What a difference a day makes.

So, yesterday morning I did a spot of parkrun tourism at St Andrews on my way home from a lovely few days away. I had the cold but I remembered the rule about if it's above your neck it's fine to run, although I found it hard.

Anyway, yesterday afternoon and evening I did NOTHING. I was wiped out! I even had a big sleep in the afternoon which is something I can't do even if I want to normally.

(When I say I did nothing, I did do quite a lot of whining...)

My legs were a bit sore too as I'd had a longish run the day before as well.

The gremlins were dancing around telling me ridiculous lies about how I'd never run again.

Today? I can breathe through my nose. I'm perfectly fine. I'm planning my next run. :)

You should have come further down the coast to Kirkcaldy. We had cake & loads of it yesterday 😀 Glad you're feeling better today.

Both of you - come to Perth. Flat as a pancake! No cake but some of us adjourn for brunch straight after!

Edinburgh is also nice and flat, right on the waterfront near Cramond!

Glad you're feeling a bit better. I am such a wuss I don't go out if I'm feeling poorly, shame on me ;)

Well done Anne. Sounds like those gremlins gave up and took that cold with them! :)

"When I say I did nothing, I did do quite a lot of whining..." hahaha that's exactly me when I'm poorly too! 😆
