Post-Covid wreck lol

Well my plans for C25k super running has been scuppered by poor weather, general lethargy and finally catching Covid. Recovering at present but I’m just about managing to walk to the top of hill but I hope before the end of this week to do the SLOW jog to the stables.

Happy running everyone - I’m right behind you 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰

The important thing is that you’re off the couch and doing what you can. Me, I don’t mind sleet, snow or rain, but am rubbish at running in hot weather. So I’m making excuses again today and will take the dogs for a good walk with the teen this evening. There’s the possibility of a late run but that seems unlikely... maybe the exercise bike again instead... Keep at it - you’ll recover quicker for not picking too hard, and will get back to happy running when you’re ready x

You are so sweet to be this encouraging 💖. Walking Ollie is the highlight of my day but the past couple weeks isolating was a nightmare. It’s a joy to be out with him and marching up the roads - running is going to wait for a bit. Roll on the Easter holiday 🐣🐣🐣🐣

Sorry you have had such a rough time of it, take it easy, running will still be here when you feel your strength is back x

Thank you. I’m looking forward to getting back out running. Walking Ollie anyway so still keeping pacing and stepping out but missing the running. Hopefully later this week 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

The better weather certainly helps and dog walks build strength too

Thank you Lottie. Not much else for it I must admit. I went back to work on Monday and I’m wrecked lol. Feeling better every day so hopefully I’ll get a bit of a very slow run before the weekend then next week I’ll have a go at week 5 again. And if not then week 4 again. Definitely ready to get going again. Really missing the thrill of running 💗. How did I get so addicted again hahahahaha

At least the post COVID runners here have got C25k to help them restart again......imagine if there wasn’t running to get everyone motivated again 😱
