Four days ill. Was either a serious cold, or mild flu, I felt rotten, lethargic, wooly. Struggled to walk to the school and back and at one point was remembering what it was like having pneaumonia a few years ago.... I must have bottomed out on Monday, picked up a bit on Tuesday (typical! Both were my days off this week!) and felt an awful lot better being back at work today. I was glad I was there at the airport as there was a lovely group of three ladies, interested in the run, the charity and my life with Joshua and his Aspergers. It was lovely to chat and laugh with a small group of people I hadn't met before about the personal nature of the run.
Come the evening I went for an "Easing back in" 4.6 mile run which was in an expected 48 mins. I'm happy with that after a nasty virus bug thing! BUt I've got a feeling I'll sleep well tonight. The plan from here is a 6.5 tomorrow, 9.1 on Friday, Saturday off and then "The Big One" on Sunday. Let's just see how things go.
Another Milestone achieved today though was my virtual run across the South of England. Though I am reeeeeeaallly taking my time and an indirect route visiting friends and family, If I had gone direct, running via the A303, Farnham and Dorking it would be a distance of 368.1 miles. And today at the end of my run I had totalled 368.3. I have run from one side of the country to the other!
