I’ve got a bloomin’ insect bite on my ankle which has become swollen. I’ve taken an antihistamine, rubbed hydrocortisone on it and iced it for 15 mins. So annoyed as I might not be able to run for a few days 😬

Hope you’re back out there soon... a few days won’t derail your journey... and you’ll be back with fresh legs.

Don't run until the swelling has gone... run and the poison spreads from it ... ice cubes can soothe any itching and the cream should help if strong enough.
Ah ok thank you. It’s feeling a bit warm so going to try and speak to GP tomorrow
Just keep an eye on it..better safe than sorry... the runs wait x
GP is going to give me a course of antibiotics. So no running for me until the swelling goes down 😔
Just came to see how you were getting on and read this post. What a shame but your health has to come first. Hope it’s getting better and you’re able to start out there again soon 😊
