Having successfully entered the there week world of tapering after my "Tarka Run", I have been struck down by a horrible lurgy of some description.
It was all going so well, maybe to well...
After my epic 22.5 miles, I ran a couple of times in the week and then knocked out a 13.5 miles the following Saturday, followed by a gentle 4 miles on Tuesday morning earlier this week. Then on Tuesday - the tickly throat, aching body and all that jazz kicked in. So no running last night and a day behind closed doors today - honey and lemon (I hate honey), Echinacea pills till I rattle and night/day nurse tablets as often as I am allowed.
Still managing to feel proper sorry for myself and slightly panicky about loosing "my edge" - but reassuring my stupid brain that I have only missed one run, its good for my legs to rest and guess what this might only be a nasty cold so will be better in a few days and there after all 9 days to go!!!
Come on body BEHAVE please
