Today I am sitting under the duvet, with a cup of lemsip and a box of tissues watching films on the iPad and snoozing. I've just had a lovely hot bath and could stay here for the next two days.....
The chesty cough I developed three days ago has developed into a streaming cold and I hate it!!
My nose & head feel as though they have been chemically injected and stuffed with tissue, and the lovely bright day outside is calling which I can't enjoy. Its a real bummer.
I've put my training on hold - being very sensible and doing what I would tell others. My chest feels tight and the coughing brings up stuff that shouldn't be there, so it's better to rest now, let my body recover and then pick up again when its strong. From past experience I know it will only prolong the illness if I try too much too soon.
It's only a week or so, and then I can return even stronger!
Yet I am looking outside and seeing the blue sky, looking at whats on the training plan - a 60 minute run, and wishing I felt strong enough to get out there and make the most of it. I really hate missing out on my training and irrationally think it will hinder my progress if I miss something out.
The reality is, that it will hinder progress if I don't rest.
So the duvet, and the box set of 'Apple Tree Yard' will have to do for now....
