It will be ok I bet. If your nose runs more then that's good. I always take a huge hankie ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโœ”๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

Head colds are ok to run with, but anything below the neck usually requires rest and TLC

You know you're now a runner when you spend more on a pair of running shoes than you have ever done on a pair of regular shoes.

You know you're a runner when you buy extra ice packs because the freezer isn't cooling them down quick enough ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Now how can I "like" that post without suggesting that Lycra lasagne might be in any way nice?

in reply to sheps

That's the eternal conundrum of social media.... Like is the most abused term I find.

Loathe it.... I forbade the use of the word, within the confines of my classroom, for a full week... the word, nice, also :)

I had an English teacher who gave us a whole list of words we weren't allowed to use, and "like" and "nice" we're at the top! I remember Alexei Sayle ranting once: "'Nice'? 'NICE'?! 'Nice' is a word you use about biscuits!!"
