1st post covid run 😁

[Runningbird56]

Hi everyone, today was my 1st run after 4 months off after having covid at the beginning of Dec. It has triggered my asthma after 20 yrs free of it. So after a couple of months getting my breath back with inhalers to help, I got back out today. R1 wk 1 , it was easier than I expected, but I don’t want to over do it too quickly. As much as I thought I still hated running, I was so wrong, I have missed it so much and can’t tell you how good I felt whilst out running and after. Please anyone thinking of getting out there, just do it, it’s amazing. Can’t wait for R2 . Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 😁😁😁😁

Very well done for getting back out there. That’s real commitment after your enforced break. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼😊

Well done ..🌈🎉 I haven't had Covid but had a bad flu a few years ago and it left me with a weak set of lungs for a while.. on inhalers for months but it did eventually get better..

I did week one run one yesterday too 👌....

Massive well done to you... there is going to be a few of you heading for that podium in nine weeks time... Keep it slow and keep it steady x

[Runningbird56 Graduate in reply to Bonnym]

Well done you for getting out there. We can tick the weeks off together. One step at a time. Enjoy the journey 😁

[Bonnym in reply to Runningbird56]

Yeah absolutely.. but I will definitely need to do it step by step.. just celebrated my 50th and never been a runner only walking and yoga.. so a complete newbie 🙈.. dont let me hold you back 😊

Bless you, I am 54 , not a good runner, only started in lock down last year, didn’t realise how I’d come to like it until I couldn’t do it. I look forward to having a running buddy. 😁

Huge well done you! Good to be recovering and great to get out there! Keep it slow and steady as ever :)Maybe team up on here with Bonnym .. hit the podium for Graduation together I love a party!

[Runningbird56 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks for the words of wisdom, it’s tempting to jump a run or two but think I will take it steady. It’s good to have a virtual running buddy to keep the motivation going too. I look forward to C25K take 2.... oh yes and a party 🎉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Runningbird56]

Of course..! I am repeating C25K for the umpteenth time after illness in October..I am on Week 7 Run 3 tomorrow. I intend to have a podium party.. again

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Runningbird56]

Slow and steady really does work..I was tempted yesterday to push a bit harder..so I deliberately pulled back and just eased off..looked around took everything in. Xx

Well done!! I went out today for first time after 6 months of long Covid, only managed a 5 minute jog but so much more than I could do a few weeks ago.
