Got to end of week 6....

And came down with a virus, so have been laid up for a week and still feel rough today. I was so happy to be told I’m a runner by lovely Laura at the end of the last run, then the next day felt soooo tired which I put down to my decrepititis! Next day that was it - ill.

Good news is my 10 year old came on the 25 minute run - he complained quite a lot because my run is slightly too fast for his walk (I was quite relieved that I do indeed go slightly faster than a 10 year old walks!!! 🤣🤣🏃‍♀️) and his running speed is about 3 times faster than mine so he had to do a disjointed run walk effort all the way round - but he wants to do parkrun now which is amazing given it’s not a computer running game but actual real life 😁

Anyway am keeping motivated by reading books about running - but I have at least stopped preaching to my husband about how brilliant it is ! He is I’m sure very happy about that 🤣🤣

I can’t wait to get back out - it’s been a week of no runs. I don’t feel any better today so it’ll probably a few more days 😭😭will probably drop back a week at least in the program just to be sure but I don’t mind that now. The planned 50th Birthday parkrun with my brother is off too but I’m in this for the long haul so am patient, we’ll just rearrange🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Knees have been painful all week too even though I haven’t run - am a little worried about those!

Happy running everyone!

Viruses are the most awful things whichever one they are, rest drink plenty of fluids take some pain pills the runs will still be there when you are well again
