My run didn't happen ☹️

[Instructor57]

So, I have been a bit out of sorts for the last week or 2 .

Had a week of not sleeping very well then also a stomach problem .

I ran on Saturday as I'd managed a few nights reasonable sleep but still felt tired , I was hoping to make it a long run but it didn't happen, I bailed out at 5k.

Since then had a stomach upset and not felt able to run ☹️

I was planning on running this morning as it has been improving but decided it still may have been unwise .

Don't really know what the problem has been , I feel it's on the mend so fingers crossed I can get back into my running routine shortly.

And most importantly, enjoy it ! 🙂

lots of bugs around at the moment - take care x

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to carolinestanford]

Thank you , I feel I'm on the mend slowly 👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Sorry to hear you're feeling out of sorts and poorly. Hopefully you are on the upwards path now and will be back to your old self soon.

No point in running if you are not going to enjoy it - for me that is the whole point

Take care of yourself 🤗

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you .

Yes, absolutely right .

As you said yourself, better not to give yourself the pressure.

[nowster Graduate]

These things are sent to try us. Get well soon!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Thank you

I would rather wait and enjoy it 👍

[Jools2020 Graduate]

Sorry you haven’t been well, Ian. Hopefully, as you say, you’re on the mend now and it won’t be too long before you’re fighting fit again. We know we should listen to our bodies and yours will tell you when it’s right to go out running. Get well soon ! 🤞👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools, I was looking forward to it yesterday and was even planing a long one !

Now I haven't run and also cancelled my work for the day 😐

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Take it easy and keep warm! My heating is on today. Weather appalling here, pouring with rain, no gardening for me today!

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

I think we are due the rain tomorrow ☹️

Thursday may be ok so we will see how I feel then 🤞

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Just see how you feel. No pressure 👍

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

🙂👍

[MontyMooDog Graduate]

Sorry you're not well. I'm the same and not run now for almost 2 weeks.....☹️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to MontyMooDog]

Oh dear , I thought you had been quite !

Hope your on the mend soon also 🤞

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Ah...sorry to hear you’re not feeling too good at the moment 🤗. I think you’re doing the right thing to rest, while you build up a bit more strength.

It’s not likely to be too enjoyable if you’re pushing yourself too hard. Recovery is important as we want to run strong and enjoy it. Rest awhile and look after yourself Instructor57!! 🤗🤗 The best thing is...running will still be here waiting for you! 😉 I hope you will be feeling better very soon! 😁❤️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thank you !

You are right !, I want to be able to enjoy it , not endure it

At least it's not an injury 🙂👍

[Hidden]

Sorry to hear that, I hope you’re feeling much better soon, it’s tough missing your runs when it’s become such a great part of your life. Good to hear you say if you’re not well enough to run you’re not well enough for work, if only I’d learnt that in my working life! Great that you’re taking good care of yourself 🤗

[PlymBorn]

Sorry to hear Ian ... I know with your zest for running you must be disappointed and frustrated! But as a wise man told me when I bust my calf during the program, listen to your body and take time out if and when needed ... btw, that was you !!!

Am sure when you are feeling better, you’ll be back at it with even more vigour! Take it easy and take care.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to PlymBorn]

Thank you for that 😁👍

Did I say that 😂

But yes, no point just enduring the run , I want to enjoy the run .

Thank you for reminding me 😁👍

[9weeks2Run Graduate]

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well and have been having trouble sleeping.

That is amazing that you managed to run 5k when under the weather.

Rest up and feel better soon. You will soon be back out there enjoying your running.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thank you !

Yes, my last run was a bit of a struggle, but if I'd stopped earlier, I would have needed to walk it anyway, 😂

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Ah bless you!

Take care

[Roxdog Graduate]

Oh I'm sorry you don't feel great but it was best to listen to your body and not push yourself. I have some issues with my digestive system which can make me feel pretty awful now and then, so do understand it can lay you low sometimes.

Rest up, take care of yourself and you will be back to enjoying your runs very soon! 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Thank you !

Yes it's difficult at the moment, I have very little energy as well so not great for feeling like Running 😐

Hopefully back out soon and enjoying it

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

Hey Mister 👋

I feel your pain 🤗

Be kind to yourself... running will still be there when you’re up to it ... no pressure... take some time out to concentrate on you ... take it easy.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Thanks Jane !

I actually feel guilty if I'm not running and that is not helping me 😐

[Tinytears60 Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

I’m exactly the same... what are we like 🙈🙈

[Maxi80]

Hope you feel better soon. It’s that transition into the autumn. Always messes me up.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

Thanks , there's probably some truth in that !

[ThisGirlNowRuns Graduate]

Sorry you're out of sorts. Hope you're feeling better and back out running soon enough, but in the meantime look after yourself

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to ThisGirlNowRuns]

Thank you ! 🙏

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Oh, lots of sympathy- I have been plodding on with a low grade headache/ upset tummy/ tired bug too - I keep thinking it’s improving or gone & then it pops up again. ☹️

It will pass eventually no doubt. I have run some days & not others - listening to how I feel.

I hope you are feeling much better soon. 😄

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Thanks !

Sounds just like I'm experiencing, but not the headache.

Hope we soon get better 🤞

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Maybe a walk to see how you feel? hope you are in tip top condition soon

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks , yes, a walk is probably a good idea 🙂👍

[Feltip Graduate]

Oh no poor you 😕

Hope you're soon on the mend and back running soon. 🤗

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Feltip]

Thank you ! 🙏

[EThomas Graduate]

Hope you are feeling better soon. It is frustrating not being able to run but you will come back stronger.

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to EThomas]

Thank you !

I certainly hope so 😁

[Pnegirl Graduate]

Sorry to hear you've had a bad couple of weeks. Hopefully you're over the worse now and can look forward to getting out and about again when you're feeling more like your usual self 🙂

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Pnegirl]

Thank you , I'm hoping I'm over the worst 🤞

[Dups Graduate]

Sorry to hear you are unwell, it’s getting to that time of year with all sorts of bugs going around. Hope you feeling better soon 🤞🏻

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Dups]

Many thanks 🤞

[JoHealth Graduate]

Hope you feel better soon and able to get back out there!

I’m counting down the days until I’m not in quarantine anymore and can go out. I’ve missed not running 🏃‍♀️

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to JoHealth]

Thank you , I hope so too !

Do you have many days left in quarantine ?

[JoHealth Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Hi,

yes I do, I am able to go out on Monday next week 😱

I am definitely not going away to a quarantined country again. I didn’t think I would struggle so much.. especially not running. 😁

[Mum22boys Graduate]

Oh no, hope you're feeling better soon. Listen to your body and if it says rest then rest 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Mum22boys]

Thank you

Absolutely!

I want to enjoy my runs , not endure them 🙂
