Feeling sad 😒

Had planned my graduation run for this morning but woke yesterday with a cold cough and headache. Went to bed at 6pm after work and slept for over 12 hours so must have needed that. Going to wait a few more days until I’m feeling more lively to hit the streets. Good luck to all those running this week πŸ™‹πŸ»

The run will still be there - maybe a great finish to the week by doing it at the weekend. Whenever it happens I am sure you will smash it. Stay warm and get rid of that cold.

Don't be too down ... almost the same happened to me 2 years ago ... Wk 9 to do then came down with a monster cold ... took a week off, dreaded starting back as thought I'd have lost all my fitness (!) but it was ok ... took me a week longer than 9 weeks but I'm still running so in the end, it didn't matter. Speedy recovery and good luck :-)

It absolutely does! Both my partner and my son have been down with something unpleasant over the last two weeks. I keep joking that only one adult in the house is allowed to be ill at a time, and since he beat me to it no sickness for me, but I'm still braced for it.

TJMazz Get well, and enjoy that graduation run (and all the ones after it!!)

Thanks. Hopefully be back running ASAP. Don’t usually let illness keep me from doing most things

I know how you feel. I'm battling the same issues but for my 10k graduation run. Don't make it any harder than it has to be. Take some extra days off, take care of yourself, and have a great graduation run once you feel better.

Sorry to hear your poorly Sask. Keep warm and rest.

Hope you feel better soon.xx

Thanks Jan. I can't shake whatever it is. Suspect it might be hormonal since no meds seem to provide any relief. Mother Nature isn't cooperating either, with nasty winds and bitingly cold wind chill so will take it one day at a time. I was hoping my graduation run could be my birthday run on Friday, but we'll see 🀞🏻

Thanks Decker. This headache has been a killer and hanging on way too long, but hopefully it'll pass by the time the weather smartens up. The podium is in my reach.....
