I'll never know if it was or not, but my pace graph did seem to point to something.

Metro_Nome Jan 2021 9:40pm, 20 Jan 2021 5,976 posts	0 Metro_Nome *side note Been feeling a bit grotty the last week or so. Snotty nose but no COVID symptoms. Didn’t isolate (continued to run and walk dog away from people) but did avoid seeing people eg for runs/walks (only time i go out) Through yesterday and into last night did develop a cough. V little sleep last night due to coughing. 6am this morning booked a test. 8am test slot. Very well organised, out by 8:15am. All very well organised. 20:01 text received saying negative. 20:04 likewise for hubby (long 3 mins) All very well done and feeling exceedingly grateful for NHS and volunteers. Also v relieved- even one day of not being able to go out was crappy
