Illness break

I had been getting on so well with week 8.

Then the day after my last run I was hit with the horrendous cold that all the kids at work have been down with. I just about managed to scramble around at work for two days amid a constantly running nose continuous cough and streaming eyes, but I had to knock the running on the head for a few days. I'm still not feeling 100% today, but I reckon I'll be back to it tomorrow.

Maybe watching the London Marathon today will give me some inspiration!

Hello to everyone else out there who's feeling rough 😷🤒🤧

Hope you’re feeling better very soon. So close to the end I’m sure you can’t wait to get back on it. Nearly there 🥇 Good luck 🍀

Yuck... I empathise.. also spent the last four days hacking cough and streaming... not sure if mine is a Spring cold or my allergy to tree pollen come a month early ( Thanks to Global warming).

Makes sure that you feel completely better... you will enjoy the run far more..and we don't lose fitness that quickly :) Thank goodness:).
