Is it man flu? It must be man flu. All the men say it's awful and whatever I have is awful. I was hoping it had left the below the neck region but the massive coughing fits I am having say otherwise.
I am enjoying reading everyone's posts as ever, and just wanted to vent - hygienically, as opposed to the venting my nose and sinuses have been doing - about not being able to run for over a week now. I was really hoping to do some festive run mapping ... if I do it after Christmas (I won't be back at home until the 27th) it just won't be the same

Hope you are feeling better , sounds a bit like man flu to me 😁😁 but the good news is man flu often resolves fast I am sure you will be running soon. Happy Christmas
Oh ickle, so sorry to hear this. Me and my mum swear by Vicks vapour rub on the chest for a cough and, erm, (wo)man flu. Hope you feel much better soon. Don't worry, the running will wait for you. Big Vicks hug to you. x
Mollydex and rolysmate I don't know which one of you is right really but the article Oldfloss links to is the occasional favourite fun-science suggestion that men do feel symptoms worse than women, there may well be something in it, and I'm just whining really!
I know it's not really influenza, I wouldn't be upright if it was!
Sadie-runs thank you m'dear, I have menthol rub (not sure if it's Vicks or own-brand), loads of lemons, honey, and whisky (forgot the ginger but I'm sure these other things will kill it off)
Can't smell a thing which was handy for the end of year cleanout of the work fridge ...
