W9r2 with a cold 🤧

So I ummed and ahhed about whether to go out this morning.

My delightful daughter has picked up a cold and shared with the whole family, bouncing back in a couple of days as children do, while leaving the rest of us feeling like death 🙄

I checked I didn’t have a fever, then headed out. Took it very, very slowly and ran a route all on the flat. Strava told me my pace was slower than a slow snail 🐌

But I did it! Really proud of myself for getting out there and, more importantly, taking it slow and sensible.

Beautiful sunrise to greet my return too 🌅🙏🏼😊

Well done Mummytum, slower than a slow snail 🐌 has worked for you, it doesn’t matter that it was slow, even with that cold 🥶 you did it!!! Children are so resilient aren’t they??!!

One more run left and your cold will be a distant memory as you step up onto that podium with a big cheesy grin!!!

And that is a beautiful sunrise, aren’t we lucky to be able to enjoy things like this?

Aww thanks Mummycav 😊

Yes, children do seem to have form for infecting everyone else then being perfectly fine and full of energy just when you’re feeling dreadful 🙄😂

The sunrise was a beautiful bonus 🌅

Yup, graduation is close now!

Just hope the cold doesn’t get any worse and stop me getting out...

Also think I might have pulled a muscle this morning as my right inner thigh is now quite achy 😖 Hopefully it will ease off over the next day or two!

Well done MummyTum! The hardest part is always getting out of the door when you feel like that, so you did yourself proud! Slow is never a problem. Go you!
