I should know not to be so smart.... Smuggly telling someone that "I never catch the flu" then ZAPP!
Now had the flu for about 3 weeks and struggling to train effectively. (A real danger that the new racing bike could go rusty) Just decided today to try and 'outrun' the flu...... Started out with the intent of a light jog to the beach and back which is a distance of about 5 klms. Arriving at the beach I could see that it was beautiful.... An overcast day but cool with the tide at it's lowest....... The ocean (The Mighty Indian Ocean of Geographe Bay) was calm and serene and a pod of dolphins playing in the shallows. Every breath of air was calling me to take that run along the beach... Not a single human being in sight in any direction.
What a great blessing a day like today. The lapping water, the dolphins, 4 kangaroos on the sand dunes watching as a jogged past. What price do we put on being healthy? Finally back home... total distance run 14 klms in 95 minutes with 1530 cals burned...... Now trusting that the flu has been left behind.
I have a goal to run a Marathon (42.2 Klms) on my next birthday. It will OFFICIALLY be my 15th (FIFTEENTH) Birthday because I was born on the Leap Year (29th February) but for convention>>> I will be 60. Todays run puts me back in the running.
I have no doubt in my mind that you will do this, you are such a strong person. If you want it you can have it. Keep believing X
