Bit of a misery this week

I’m feeling so deflated that the London Marathon might be cancelled. I got up to 20 miles for Lochness Marathon last year then my son was seriously ill and I couldn’t do it. I’m now at 16 miles and the thought of doing all this training for another marathon I might not run is really getting me down. I know I have to look at the bigger picture and there are more important things but I’m still feeling down about it.

I also would like to know if I get to keep my ballot place and not just get a refund if it is cancelled as there is no way I’ll get another place.

I know I have to suck it and see and everyone doing marathons is in the same boat but I’m still not a happy bunny.

On top of that I’ve been ill since Monday night. No I haven’t got the Corona virus. I’m not really sure what I’ve had my glands are up, my throat is sore and I’ve literally slept at every opportunity. I’ve made it to work but exercise wasn’t even an option as my battery was on zero percent. I think I’ve turned a corner today. So I’m hoping another rest day tomorrow and I’ll be ok to do my long run in York on Saturday.

I’ve also been blocked for a week on my Instagram account. I have no idea why and I’ve appealed but I’ve given up now so I’ll have to wait until Monday. This is obviously a minor nuisance but I use Instagram to motivate myself and try and motivate others and I feel a bit lost without it.

So all in all it’s not been a very positive week. My hands have never been so clean so there is that!
