Only one run to go but feel rubbish!!

Feeling a bit ansty... only need to complete w9r3 and will have reached my goal but in last two days have come down with a cold that’s made me feel really tired and lethargic as well as a bit chesty.... I’ve no intention of running while I feel like this but mentally I’m really missing the stress release I’ve now realised I get from being out there and letting my mind just drift! Loads of friends who run always said how good running was for their mental health but I’m only just realising now I can’t get out how right they were!

I know this will pass and I’ll be able to graduate (who knew I’d be so certain about that 9 weeks ago??!) but am just frustrated!! Think I’ll go for a walk.....

Oh dear, poor you. Sound like you’re loaded.

Take it easy, recover, and just think how great you’ll feel when you get that final one done.👍

Rest and get well. Then you’ll be totally ready for it.

Sorry about your cold, just take things easy, the cold will soon go and you will be able to run again,

Yukky colds getting in the way are so frustrating. Get rested and then you can do that grad run gloriously.
