No, I haven't broken out of jail, but I have just got out for a run after coming down with covid. After isolating for 10 days, it feels a bit like getting out of jail 🏃♀️I didn't even mind that it was raining!
Not sure where it fits on the program, but I decided to run for 7 minutes twice, and a final minute to bring it up to 15 minutes of running.
So nice to see even more signs of spring 🌱
I am just into day 3 of my brush with Covid. I hope it hasn’t taken too much out of you. I am looking longingly at the beautiful sunshine outside. Signs of spring. 🙂
Hi BC, it's been strange. I didn't feel really ill, but I tested positive right until day 9, just felt really washed out and too tired to do anything. That's only just going. Yesterday there was no way I wanted to run. Today I thought I could manage it 🤷Hope you are coping ok with it?
Chesty cough from day 1. I have felt better since then day by day…I suspect paracetamol is taking the edge off it. I keep falling asleep though! Just like a normal chest cold really. People say that it would be legal to go out…but there is no way I want to pass this on. I will just have to be a patient patient!!🙂
You're doing the right thing, also if you keep falling asleep, then tucked up at home is the best place 🛋️
You are sensible. xxx
Ooo so happy to know you got out! Isolating is horrible. And lovely run, we only had misty drizzle. Isn’t it great seeing signs of spring?
Yes, I've cleared away lots of old leaves, and it's lovely to see the shoots that were hiding under them. It's so good to get out again. (The rain eased off and it had almost stopped for my cool down walk - I had my cap on, it only comes out when it rains!)
I always forget my cap
Doh! 🤦♀️💧
Well done for getting back out there now you're feeling better 👍Yes, those signs of spring really do lift the spirits! 😊
Thank you, it was so nice to be out there again
Well done on getting out there again and not pushing too hard .Take your time and be kind to yourself.

Well that's an interesting report! I seem to have hit upon the sort of return run they suggest, and I'll take on board what they say about ramping up - and not be tempted to just jump straight back into my program. Thank you!
Your welcome, take care !
Great that you are back on it 🥳🥳
Thanks Pete - nice to hear from you, how's it going?
Still struggling at moment, been told by prosthetist foot not suitable for running, due to go back next week to see another prothetist see what happens then, still keeping fit on revamp course from Limbpower and getting walks in. Not giving up.
Great to hear you're persevering.
You are a very determined person Pete! Keeping my fingers crossed for some better news for you next week 🤞
Sorry to hear you have had Covid. Well done on your run. Bet it felt wonderful to finally be back outdoors again! 😀
Thanks Indie, yes it did. You can tell I was keen because I didn't even wait for the rain to stop 🌧️
15 minutes of running is sort of W5R1 territory. Welcome back!
Thanks - yes sounds about right now you mention it!
Well done you...lovely to get outside and see Spring was waiting to greet you
Slow and steady as you go
Back to running (hopefully)
Back pain following run
Finally back out running
Back to running and thrilled!
Getting back into the long run
