Post Flu Run 1

[VickiMo]

Three weeks ago I was cracking along nicely, ran for 11 consecutive mins followed by two runs of 6mins, then flu struck. A week in bed, horrid and a week back at work which was exhausting. So today was my first run post flu. Managed 5mins, 6mins, 6mins and then 3mins, a kind of week 5 run 2 variation....

Gosh it was hard work but I’ve started the road back. When I think back to week 1, when running a minute was a heck of a chore, I’m so pleased that although I’ve slipped back I’m not right back where I started.

Plus the sun is out!

Ted is still in the sofa, keeping it warm for my post run warm down.....

Everybody loves Ted. I get more replies if I put him on a post!!!!

Well done!! That flu seems to be getting around! Ted is gorgeous! Does he like a walk or run too or is he a couch potato? 😂

[VickiMo]

Sadly he is 15 and has a bit of dementia, which makes him anxious, but he is happy on his sofa and enjoys a daily leisurely stroll around our village.

Well done. I had a cold/cough bug for over two weeks and I had reached W6R3. I went back to W4R1 to get started again. Today I did W5R1 again and enjoyed it, I think the running just may be getting slightly easier.

There IS running after flu then. At the moment I feel that I'll never run (or walk, sit up, breathe without pain) again. Thank you for this glimmer of hope.
