Man flu...in a woman...?
Oct3020092:31 p.m.
I’m not good at being sick, and a few days ago I picked up a cold. Breathing through my nose is not possible and I have severely reduced amounts of energy. I have already skipped one training session this week, is this normal? Or am I making excuses for missing training, and so early on in to the schedule!!
I frustrate myself you know. I know I can do this, I want to do this. I only have a cold!
That’s it. Tonight when I get home from work I shall go for a short run, 3 miles maximum, just to get me back in the swing. I’ve written it down now so everyone will know if I’ve not bothered, and potential humiliation has always been a great motivator! Next week I am repeating this week’s schedule, definite bonus of doing a 26 week schedule in 32 weeks.
Must dash, another nose blow is required!

gravygraham 'Take it easy running when you're below par - it can make you feel like you've been slaughtered and diminish your enthusiasm. Anyway, it can't be 'real' man flu - you'd really know it if you had that!' added 30th Oct 2009

Hayleybelle 'Haha, quite right Graham. I don't know what real illness is! I didn't make it out tonight - predictably - I'm still feeling drained so am aiming for some kind of a run on Sunday and then hopefully I'll be back on form from Monday. By the way, a friend of mine training for the Brighton Marathon in April has turned vegetarian, have you heard this might help? ' added 30th Oct 2009
