Week 8 run 2

Struggled today as my cough and cold has come back with a vengeance- the run was fine apart from coughing fits every now and again! Oh and when Leo spotted something and it was a load of random sheep just walking up the road!

Well done going out with your cough etc. Hopefully you are on the mend now. My dog (a colie) is scared of sheep... He gets the colliewobbles :)

I was hesitant to go running tomorrow for a second postgrad run as I've had a pretty bad cold for the last couple of days and am starting coughing. But reading your post, I'm thinking if you've done it, I should give it a go, especially the forecast is looking good for tomorrow. No chance to meet any sheep on my side though unfortunately.

It didn't help or make me cough less today! If anything it took my mind off feeling ropey for 40 minutes !

Well, wasn't so brave as you: I'm giving up on this run for today. My cold is still bugging me. And even if it's a bright day, just afraid the wind will make it worse.

I do not blame you at all - I have been asleep on the sofa for 4 hours today again feeling ropey

A nice cuppa with honey and lemon and fresh ginger? Won't be able to run nor go to work tomorrow as my voice is completely gone and I feel ropey ... So, let's be patient on our couches but I'm finding out what the word "addiction" means! I feel terrible at the prospect of not being able to go for a run on Sunday: a week without running when I've been running nearly every other day for the last 9 weeks. Hope you're doing better than me!

Not what you're looking for?
