W8 run2

[SusieHicks]

A hard slog today, 3 sleepless nights and lots of evil spring pollen allergies. But I did it ( though not much more) and felt better for having done it, though hardly proud. I suppose running (slowly ) when you feel rubbish is good in a way. Fingers crossed I feel zingier by Thursday :-))

[lagatachocolate Graduate]

I think you should feel proud although where in the world are you that you’re suffering pollen allergies; not in the UK surely 🙂

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to lagatachocolate]

Wimbledon! Deeply pollen-y, sadly :-))

[lagatachocolate Graduate in reply to SusieHicks]

Wow, how did that happen? All I got was rain and hailstones today daan saaf ;o)

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to lagatachocolate]

clearly you are in the storm. We have SUVs and allergies in SW19

[lagatachocolate Graduate in reply to SusieHicks]

We're certainly in the middle of something and it is not a typical English 'spring'! SUVs, allergies, and global warming all round I reckon ... ;o)

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to lagatachocolate]

:-)) remember 1635

[Jen58 in reply to SusieHicks]

I have lost this conversation somewhere along the way

Remember 1635 nooo I certainly don’t ???

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to Jen58]

January 1635 the Thames froze over Though why that seemed important yesterday I can’t remember now!

Oh, me too - always find this time of year really grim. Hopefully not much longer & energy levels, swollen eyes, sinuses etc will return to normal! You're doing waaaaay better than me tho. In fact I feel really ashamed as I've just let the running go. Like you, was at week 8 - but unlike you, I found I just couldn't do it. Am looking to restart at wk5 asap. Can't come soon enough.

Go you!

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to angemum]

And you!! Don’t let it go, if you're Anything like me it’s always a real effort of will to go out and the first 15 minutes are painful(!) but after that it’s good and Inalways come back feeling pumped up and happy. Good luck :-)))

I'm in Yorkshire and in the past couple of weeks, even with the torrential rain and sleet, I have had the first signs of this year's hayfever symptoms.

[Jen58 in reply to Lrw2212]

I think is called a cold ...😂😂

[Lrw2212 Graduate in reply to Jen58]

No a cold doesn't come with the crazy itchy eyes,nose and throat 😉

[Jen58 in reply to Lrw2212]

Oh no I hope I am not getting that Allergy 🙄I have the symptoms 😳

No surly I have a cold 😊

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to Lrw2212]

Every sympathy! I think it’s birch pollen at this time of year, and then grass pollen later..... grrrrrrrr!!

Running when feeling rubbish is true grit. Enough said, you’re a star

[Jen58 in reply to Hidden]

Oh roll on summer and the bees 🐝

[Jen58]

After 3 nights of no sleep I would find it a hard slog

I will be watching out for the spring pollen tomorrow,

Allergies I certainly don’t need when I have got this far 3more runs I am sure I also will have the zinger to

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Aaachoooooo! I empathise...my sniffles have started early.. sneezing aplenty!

Steady as you go.... I pop a blob of Nivea under my nostrils..it seems to catch the pollen spores... well it works for me...

Hope Thursday goes well

[SusieHicks Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thankyou, I’ll try that!
