I can't believe my first attempt at writing a blog about my running addiction is going to be such a flop and make me sound like such a light-weight!
I would have liked to share with you how wonderful my regular 10 miler is through the hills, lanes and woods of the Chiltern Hills; or how elated I felt in the last 5k of the London Duathlon the other weekend as I seemed to be getting faster, my feet lighter and my breathing easier; but instead I'm going to talk about snot, sneezes, sore throats and aching limbs!!
Bloody colds and flus,I despise them! Surely they're curable in this day and age of space travel and Quantum science? Breathing in other peoples sneezes on a packed tube train- it's the curse of millions of people having to live on top of each other! If i'm running from anything, I'm running from this! I run because I crave to fill my lungs with fresh clean air that makes your feel lighter and helps you see more clearly.
For now though I can't breath through my red raw nose and I feel like I weigh a tonne. I need to chill and rest. Just a couple of days is all it'll take hopefully, then i'll be able to run and breath again!
