Haven’t done my last 2 runs due to feeling unwell, just found out the reason for that is I have shingles! Rash has appeared right at my armpit, so not to ideal place and I don’t think I can just grin and bear it just now! Absolutely gutted not to be out, and worried how it will affect my ability for 5k run in September!

Sorry about your shingles, go to the doctor, he will give you medication which will get rid of your shingles well before you are due to run that 5K in September.

Take care...and know you have plenty of time to recover fully before your run.

Oh you poor thing! Get well soon, you'll be back running soon enough.

Have been to the docs, been given some drugs which may or may not make it shorter! I’m glad I listened to my body and have been taking as much rest as possible, I’m just a bit sad as I should be finishing C25k right now and I am SO CLOSE to the finish!

Shingles is cxxp I know, but at least you know what’s ailing you and have the means to get better. The runs will be lurking and will wait until you’re ready; I’m sure you have plenty of time to prepare for your 5K. Best of luck for a speedy recovery!
