I've been off work sick for the last four days and I dont seems to be getting any better.
I seemed to be on top of the sniffly nose last week by popping the Lemsip max tablets and I ran Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
For the record, Saturday I ran the quickest 10k in well over 6 months...
I was well chuffed with that. I was pushing a little but not too much and I was plugging away at the 3:2 breathing rhythmn and it all started to come together nicely. However, it was cold that night. Really cold. The pavements were beginning to frost up and so were my lungs.
After a shower and some pizza and sitting on the sofa for an hour, I was still wheezing like hell, so I went to find my Ventolin pump. A quick press on the top of it and nothing came out. Panic. A quick phone call to my bruv to confirm he had a spare and I was off down the road like a shot (in the car!) to go pick it up. Within 15 mins of getting some Ventolin into my lungs, I was feeling much better.
Sunday was ok. Monday I felt naff. The cough was coming on and I was wheezing again. The Ventolin wasnt touching the sides so I called in sick and visited the GP. Diagnosed as a Chest Infection. Antibiotics was the result.
Its now Friday. I havent run in 6 days. I'm still coughing and wheezing and my cat allergy seems to have kicked into overdrive. I cant stay in Alison's house without wheezing, the only relief I seem to get is when I'm not there, sadly.
I've also developed a really badly swollen bottom lip. So swollen it looks like I've been in a fight...

I feel like sh*t quite frankly. I cant breathe and I'm feeling beyond knackered through lack of sleep. My legs ache now more than they do at the end of a marathon. I'm now 4 days into the course of Antibiotics so I would have thought I would have started to improve a little by now but it doesnt look like its the case.
Fingers crossed this lurgy clears up soon.
