Starting any new exercise is tough enough. You've then had flu which really takes it out of you.

Have a rest day or more if needed and give yourself time to recover. Good luck 😊

Just be kind to yourself...slow steady and rest more if need be. You'll get there x

oh no Pebbles64 ...Flu can really knock you sideways and it sounds like it has had more of an effect on you than you realise...rest is what’s required here..a few days off will not affect your fitness so I would wait until you’re 100% better before heading out again...warm fire, cosy blanket and hot chocolate for you

Hope you are feeling a lot better and have tried another run? Take care. 👍

Well done to get to the gym. I am well thank you. I will get out there when the sun rises a little higher (am a wimp). Take care. 👍
