4th day of the sore throat.

Feels like I constantly need to cough, but then when I do it’s super painful and like razor blades

No fun

Definitely something going about at the moment. I’m hopefully just coming out of this. Started on Sunday as well

Did my 5km trail round, the long hill in the middle (138 meters vert over 1.5km) was a struggle today. But I’m loving running in the forest again.

40 mins strength, upper body today, epic 3 day 42. Uff was a tough one :exploding_head:

Went for a long’ish swim, 3.2k in just over an hour.

Most remarkable thing was that I didn’t need to get out for the loo at all :grin: (and no, I didn’t go in the pool either :roll_eyes:)

Managed a whole 625m yesterday stinking cold (had it since my 24km last Saturday)

Surely today must be better, hope to get something strictly easy done later.

Can no longer defer IM Calella-Barcelona, the deadline to defer was yesterday, guess I’m giving it a go then.

That would be very worrying if your worked for Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson and the like.

But the drugs don’t work, they just make you worse.

I can assure both you, and Richard Ashcroft, that they are working very well

Lovely 2hr hike on Friday and went climbing for the first time since Easter yesterday. More climbing today, need to regain my climbing fitness. Climbed till everything hurt yesterday, hands were burning, toes were screaming in the tight shoes. All my calluses have gone, need to get ugly feet and hands again :laughing:
