Day 1489 running with man flu 🤦🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🤧

I still felt rotten but this morning I decided to go out for a run with Lynsey at 5.45am.

Why?

I’ve hardly walked the length of myself these last few days and I need to get moving again.

I always remember Gavin, at the Fit Body Farm, saying if the cold is in your head you can still work out… not if it’s in your chest. This is all still in my head…. Not in that way, I am not making it up obviously. 🙄

So I set my alarm for 5.30am. Or did I?!??

Craig nudged me awake at 5.40am as the alarm hadn’t gone off, with a “did you not say you were going running?!” and I was out that front door in 5 minutes flat and probably running 6 minutes after I woke up!

I really enjoyed it and as hard as it was, I only walked 3 times to stop to blow my nose!

I was soooooo red when we finished. It doesn’t show up in the photo but I was beetroot.

The minute I got in the house the sweat absolutely poured out of me for ages. I had a cold shower and I was still beetroot when I left for work.

It felt really good to have been for a run though and I’m so proud of myself for doing it. Obviously, Lynsey and all the girls I run with keep me going, which is a huge help. I don’t think I’d do it on my own.

It’s been a really busy day at work as I’m finishing up for a few days holiday. It flew by… I got a bit panicked trying to tidy stuff up before I left at 4. I like to have everything just so before a holiday but I didn’t plan on being sick this week. I’m not sure anything was “just so” when I left but hey….

I’m not back in the office until Wednesday morning and looking forward to a wee break.

I’m sitting waiting to get my toenails done and the sun is shining…. And it’s warm!!

Toenails done (orange for the wedding we are going to next weekend) and home and it’s really hot now. Popped in to see Claire and then sat in the garden with Craig and our neighbour Kenny. Oh the banter….🙄😬🤦🏻‍♀️

We’ve moved down to the back decking that Craig pressure washed last weekend. We rarely get the sun here now but it’s lovely for the dying embers. It’s 20.20 now and the sun is just about to go.

The pups are having fun!

Happy weekend to you all when it comes!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
