So this week has been one where I have had to take my own advice as well as that of others to listen to my body and let it heal. I have been wiped out with a bug since last Friday and for the 1st few days all I wanted to do was sleep. Then I dragged my ass out for a short walk to the shops on Tuesday for more lemsip and fresh air only to be foiled by the hill on my way back, the walk that I normally do without a second thought left me exhausted and needing a nap when I got home. By wednesday my walk was a little further, the fresh air felt good but it still wiped me out for the rest of the day. Thursday I made 2 school pick up walks, still with a rubbish head but feeling stronger, and today as my boy is on inset we've made it out for a short bike ride with a stop halfway for tea. Being poorly always reminds me not to take for granted what I enjoy everyday and it's wonderful to gradually see improvements however small.
I'll save a recovery run for another few days as my breathing isn't quite there yet but onwards and upwards. I should be back to work as normal on Monday, be gentle with me! βπΆπ»π΄π»
