Well still testing positive ☹️

Took the route I know would be very quiet ( wore my mask and took a detours so as not to pass anyone 😷)

But after managing my usual workout yesterday,I decided to go try a run see how I got onπŸ€žπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Feeling good I thought I would manage a 5K.. took it quite slow and stopped at 3K for a drink..all okay I thought.. just kept it slow and stopped every couple of K's for drinks and managed to keep it up to make a decent 10K πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Ooh it was lovely to be back out.. felt so lucky covid doesn't seem to have taken too much out of me πŸ™

Made me appreciate again just how wonderful it is to have running in my life πŸ’ͺπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ™

Really hope I can get back on form now sooner than I thought πŸ˜ƒ

Stay safe out there πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈβ€οΈ

Well done to you Caroline on running that 10K while still testing positive for Covid 19, good time as well, 1.16.23, one of the 20/10K runs I have ran since becoming a Graduate10 was on that time as well, I hope soon to restart upping my distance from 5K to 10K before I run the virtual Vitality London 10,000 in May.

Really happy to hear you have not lost too much fitness.However, if you are still testing positive then you should still be isolating !

It only needs you to have a fall or something and then you woul potentially be putting others at risk.

Here's to a speedy recovery !
