Road bump

Well, I have hit a road bump this week, week 2 into my Edinburgh base training plan and things were going well. 

On Tuesday I had made it to Derwent runners, had a great 6 miles steady run, got to explore a lot more of Derby and knew I would be back, 4 miles on Thursday morning and was all set for my long run on Friday.  Then Thursday came, I woke up and had a tickly cough but pressed on for my 4 miles treadmill run, however, as the day wore on I started to go downhill quickly and apparently I was looking rather rough (and that was them being nice).

Fast forward to the evening and I am huddled up on the sofa, in three layers of clothes, surrounded by tissues, sipping a very special hot toddy, which is only making do until I can take my hit of night nurse and go to bed.

I have come down with this horrible cold that is going around at the minute, the news on the street is that it lasts for at least a week! I really hope not. Fortunately, at the minute, I don’t work Fridays so it meant I could take up permanent residency on the sofa for the rest of the day. I gave myself a long lie in, got dressed and settled down for a day of Wanted Down under, RipOff Briton (Holiday edition) and the box set of "The Good Doctor" which was a bit of a lifesaver (pun indented).

Needless to say that I am taking the week of my training plan and when I feel well enough I will get back to it…

Not going to sweat it and I have a good running buddy who is going through something a lot worse, so a little cold is not going to keep this girl down for too long, I'll be up and running in no time.
