Hi all

Just popping in to say hello and how is everyone. Really sorry not to have contributed for a while, but I do always recommend the forums to people needing support and advice. It’s just that I can’t keep up with all the different groups I’m on, though I see some of you on Facebook/beyond C25k and some of you are Facebook friends.

I’m well. After a year of struggling, I discovered I’m allergic to my inhaler, which was making me ill and unable to run very far. As we are down to just one dog and no cats, I don’t have a problem with breathing now, so am running without.

I’ve switched shoes to Altra, which are foot shaped and zero drop, and absolutely love them.

I’m currently doing a challenge (a spin-off from Marcothon) to run a minimum of 1000 or 2021km or 1000 or 2021miles in 2021. Blenheim half is cancelled for the second year, so I hope to run a half on my own - I’m still building back my distances after a year of ill health.

Oh, and I’ve had the first Covid vaccination

I hope all of you are well and still enjoying running xxx

Nice to hear from Flick, I am pleased to know that you are still running and good luck for your 2021 miles in 2021, I am going to get my first Covid 19 vaccination on Saturday morning.

Thanks Alan. Hope you feel well after. I was fatigued, nauseous and felt very under the weather for a day and a half, then it lifted as if it had never been. Some people get no side effects at all

Always lovely to hear from you Flick and to know that you’re still getting out there.

Are they doing a virtual Blenheim?

[Hidden in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you lovely. No, they cancelled. I was gutted. Every other race I’d entered was done virtually, so not sure why not this one

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

That’s a shame ☹️
