Not so far as to save him from the Savlon.

Of course I do. Reduces chaffing. -Ralph Running (or hiking) are the only times I will endorse Ralph's quite frankly absolutely ludicrous multiple sock fetish. Regularly have two pairs of socks on for runs. |

I think you'll find the specific definitely doesn't excuse the generic is what Andy is saying..

2023 Run #55. First go since April when I haven't felt disabled/in pain (from underlying unrelated chronic issue) while out running. Some discomfort but manageable.

2023 Run #56. That was ok, even on antibiotics, other than a strong urge to lean to the right.
Weekly weigh-ins begin. I am three stones overweight, which is what I thought would be the case.
10 weeks until half-marathon.

2023 Run #57. Tough going and it was only after I switched the music to the Barbie soundtrack that I was able to finish the run.
9 weeks until half-marathon.

Was that a good idea so soon after Covid?
Do not push yourself!

I cannot emphasise enough that you need to rest. It can take months, even years to recover from Covid. Pushing yourself too soon will only do worse damage in the long run.

Indeed.
I was hoping to start at a gym next month but have shelved that after my recent hospital stay.

As someone who experiences chronic pain, only exercise helps my mental health being affected too much by it. So no, I won't stop.
I am a slow-paced jogger anyway. I'm not exactly The Flash.
