W6R2 done after nasty horsefly bite 😳

[FunnyMummy1]

Very pleased to be back running after 11 whole days of pain and swollen foot. Could hardly weight-bear at first and then it just got worse! After lots of antihistamines, an assortment of creams and painkillers - it's almost gone.

I've done this run twice this week to ease myself in gently and am pleasantly surprised to feel that I haven't completely lost it!

Any tips to deter future midges and biting critters?

Ouch and well done... no tips... I ended up in hospital..my horsefly was infected with nastiness!

Glad you are back on the path and feeling better.. slow and steady does it

That sounds nasty. Glad you recovered eventually. Yes, definitely slow & steady!! 😎🏃🏽‍♀️

I find running works for me, they only get me when I stand still or walk.

Glad you are over the horsefly bite, I hear that a bee sting is preferable.

Good luck from one mummy to another!
