Well I've had a hell of a couple of weeks. I caught a viral thing which triggered a fibromyalgia flare up, then just as I was starting to recover my daughter in law (who I love like one of my own) was bluelighted to hospital with suspected meningitis. One of the scans she had then revealed a mass in her brain. I don't think we've ever been so scared. Happily yesterday her test results came back and the mass is an asymptomatic pineal cyst and she does have meningitis but it's viral not bacterial. So she's ill but not dangerously. All of this has meant that I've not run for almost 2 weeks. I was debating with myself about whether to repeat a week 2 run given the hiatus but decided I'd give week 3 a try. And I did it! My pace was slower and my god my legs ache but I bloody did it! Who knew 3 minutes could last so long!!

With all that’s been happening - that’s great you still got out for a run! Whew!

I’m so glad to hear that you’re daughter-in-law doesn’t have the bacterial meningitis. Such a relief for all of your family.

See you around fellow runner! Pam

Scary time for you all. Hopefully your all on the road to recovery now🤞. Well done for making time for yourself & completing your run in W3. Hope the rest of your journey is less eventful👍🏻

I'm so glad I did. I've felt like I've been dragging myself through each day for the last couple of weeks and after my run I feel like I have energy again. I love this!!

Hope your daughter-in-law is well soon.

Great decision and great run!
