Achoo!

I don’t want to do one of those lame-o ‘Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while’ posts (I mean, does anyone even notice when someone hasn’t blogged for a while? And even if they have noticed, do they care? I, personally, a) don’t usually; and b) don’t anyway, but maybe that’s because I’m just a grumpy old moo) but I’m trying to get into the habit of writing regularly and not just mini-reviews on Planet Veggie describing a cup of artichoke tea as ‘beyond minging’ and ‘probably tastes like a turtle’s anus’.

My training for the Folkestone Rotary Half Marathon and the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon was going sort-of-okay until I got a bit of a sniffle was horrifically struck down by a crippling immune system destroying virus which meant that any running- or gym-based activities came to a bit of a slow down. OK, so what I mean is that they stopped completely and I have done fuck all exercise for over a week. 

And now the Folkestone Half is only two-and-a-bit weeks away.

Eek.

But just to reassure you that I have got my priorities right, I checked out our post-half eating and drinking venue – Googies – last Saturday and very nice it is too.

  • I’m running the Royal Parks two, just had a good read of your blog, great stuff. Had a similar problem myself, was off running for three weeks or so ill. Everytime I went out I only managed half hour before my body completely gave up. Better now and getting back into it.

    Goodluck with the training, and the race on the day!

  • Yay for Googies! I will have my ice cream if it’s the last thing I do.

    We’re going to be a fine sight as we all snuffle and limp our way across the finish line aren’t we?

  • Poor you. That “crippling immune system destroying virus” sounds right nasty. It’s a tribute to you that you have fought it off so bravely.

  • LOL I was doing well too, now I haven’t run since Sunday and am off to Barcelona friday for much drinking and eating and not much running, Oh well – The first one is a training run for RPH! Hope you get better and back to running soon.
