Damn flu...

So, I have got as far as week 7. Run 1 was fine, but on run 2 I had to stop half-way! I don't know what was wrong that day but it was a bit depressing. However, it was the first run that I had 'failed' at, so I tried not to be too hard on myself.

So Thursday 27th I did run 2 again, and this time it was fine. But on Friday 28th I came down with flu, and now I'm wondering how long it will be before I'm able to get out there again...

The worst of the flu is now over - yesterday I managed a short walk around the block (first time out of the house in a week), and today I went to Lidl, taking my 12-year old with me to look after me if I fainted! (By the way, Lidl have running gear this week - I bought some gloves, a top and some trainer inserts.)

I never thought I would miss running, but I do. I'm hoping that I won't have regressed too far by the time I'm well enough to run again.

Poor you - sounds very frustrating. (I love your picture by the way - I wish I'd thought of it!)

I hope you'll feel well enough to get back to running soon, so you can try out your new toys!

Yuck! I guess the flu is hitting everywhere this time of year. Please do take care and run only if you feel well enough to. You are progressing well and I'm sure the new running goodies will be fun to wear once you can run again. Gayle
