So frustrating. Today would have been my last run of week 3 but I'm feeling poorly and yet all I can think is that I want to stick to my schedule! I'm hoping I can do my last run tomorrow and start week 4 next week. Who knew it gets so addictive lol?!

The entire runner fraternity knows how you feel!! Life gets in the way sometimes- the run will politely wait for you.

Take care and get better first. X 😀

Thanxs guys. I have tonsilitus but now have antibiotics too so I'm hoping I can finish my week 3 run tomorrow and get started on week 4 as soon as possible. So frustrating. The doctor was impressed that I was so annoyed by it though lol! Guess I'm becoming a runner.... in mindset at least! 🤣🤒

Er... running tomorrow when you have tonsillitis sounds bonkers!

Get better, then run!! There is zero pleasure in running when you are ill & you are just putting extra strain on your body while it is trying to recover. I really sympathise - I went out to run on Saturday thinking I was over a viral infection, discovered that I wasn't ok, stopped and headed for home. I can't say that I am waiting patiently, but I am waiting! 😀
