I have been trying to convince myself that I am "OK", but there is a general decline in my health that I have been reluctant to admit, hoping that it would just go away.
I probably just have a case of the 'flu or something today - general muscle aches and pains, headache, sore glands and throat. There are other things though which are more concerning, hurt quite a lot, and makes me extrememly tired.
I got out to do the Marathon Eve Eve 10k on Saturday, going really hard, and still not managing to crack 57 mintures (56:59.7 by my watch, but 57:01 on the official results). I was stuffed.
Some diagnostic tests on Monday merely exacerbated the pain level (?renal), and I cycled, slowly down to the Lake Tuggeranong Stakes (6k) on Tuesday, however was only able to run for little more than a kilometre before admitting that I had to stop and walk back. Cycling was pretty good though!

About me
- I'm Carolyne
- From Canberra, Australia
- I love to run! Staying in Weymouth, Dorset on the South West Coast of England until October. I'm 46, live in Canberra with Bob and have been running since 1990. This has been interrupted by long periods of illness, however I am extremely stubborn! I'll never be a fast runner, however I give it everything, and am slowly learning to read my body better and adjust my training and expectations accordingly. Or rather I would, if running were possible at the moment - I will retuyrn soon.
