Fingers crossed Sarah.
Hope everyone is doing ok - its Friday!
Felt ok enough to run home last night, and I think the rest had actually done me good as I ran just about the whole of it, rather than run/walking like I have been doing. I love it when you get those good runs - they don't necessarily happen often, but they are worth waiting for.

Emerging after a four day rest
Tup my original streak ended after 10yrs4months back in Oct... since then I have tried to start two.. the first on 24th Dec was going ok till I hit a lurgy mid Jan and the third lasted just over a week and ended after Monday this week
It’s been a week to observe mental behaviour and how stress also impacts me.. other peoples behaviour at work and how I am affected by that
Anyhow.. feeling ok today, tired but ok and off for a hair cut and then a run when I get back
Hope your all Doing ok x

Rest is good when it’s needed
I’m waiting for Parkrun results while we get ready for an afternoon walk on the Pennine Way

Finished week two of my 200 squat challenge. Tonight’s reps were 22 22 19 19 and 35. In a day or so I need to do a test to exhaustion with a target of 40, which will be fine. It’s amazing how much stronger I feel for doing basically seven sessions of squats in a fortnight

Wow - well done DT!
The state of the weather has stopped me running till today - but am taking the opportunity with this break before the next storm to run home tonight. It may be chilly, but at least I won't be blown away I hope!!
Hope everyone is OK?

Oh no FRU. Doesn't sound good - maybe your body was just telling you you needed a bit of rest?
At the risk of being really annoying and armchair diagnosing, have you tried taking Vi D supplements? I had a spell a couple of years ago where I had what felt like depression, combined with exhaustion, and it turned out I had extremely low vit D levels. Some high strength tablets and a week later, and it was like a light bulb had gone on and I was back in business.
Am so glad the wind has gone away temporarily - I was very bored of it! Managed to run home last night - and will try the same on Friday.

Hope you're feeling a bit better, FRU xx Good running, Treacle and DT. I don't know what to do with myself re running. Knees are a bit of a problem but not bad enough to stop me completely. Not sure whether to just keep on with my training prog but knock it down from 3 to 2 runs a week or what. Have lost confidence a bit. ION, weightloss is going well. 3.5 lbs down this week - 11 lbs in total
