W2R1 - almost didn't go

Lardybumneedstorun profile image

I've got a hideous head cold and sore throat at the moment. That and the rain made motivation really low.

But I made myself go out and got through it. Found the last two 90 seconds really hard but managed it.

Recovery took a bit but think that's mainly because I can barely breathe through my nose.

Roll on W2R2!

I did same on Friday- what is it with these late summer bugs. Well done, rest up.

Well done.

I would never do that.

If I feel at all unwell I do not run.

Stressing the body can make your recovery longer and it is rarely a pleasurable experience.

Do yourself a favour, recover fully, then move on.

Take care.

Well done for going out when you didn't feel like it! I have the same kind of cold right now and it does drain your energy.
