Pre-breaky run from a friends to home. Finally a decent enough run and I feel so much better already! Frosty but sunny morning with blue sky, so good to be out running :)))) Shouldn't have felt the hills and distance in my legs like I did but I expected I'd have lost a fair bit of speed and strength.

Update on the schnoz: Went to an ENT specialist on Thursday afternoon and he seems to think he can kill it all off with more drugs. Hopefully a quicker (and much less expensive) way to go! He thinks two weeks and it should be back to normal, and I have a backup if not. Feeling a bit better the last two days though already!

Pre work jog

At the gym, 5min standing 5min seated increasing the resistance each time. Nothing too intense but I needed to feel like I've done something quality ish.

'Mind body' class. Started with a little bit of yoga and then was pretty much just a Pilates class with a heap of theraband use. I actually loved it!

So! Turns out I have 'polyps' in my maxillary sinus'. Apparently they often grow from recurring infection or as an immune response and can cause asthma, so that makes sense why I'm still coughing a bit too. Have an appointment with a guy in Sydney tomorrow to see about having them removed, fingers crossed it can happen real soon.

Another fun fact Josh found though: Sinus polyps most often occur in people over 40 years of age AND are twice as common in men as they are women. What a joke hahah

Also, turned my pre-work-jog alarm off and slept for 9.5 hours last night, think it was worth it.

Pre work

After dinner core and glute treat

Today marks 7 weeks of being sick, gah. Went back to the doctor today and had a CT scan of my sinuses and a chest x-ray to check there's nothing blocking anything. Also got given another lot of antibiotics. Fingers crossed this is the end of it!

C • No good! 4

A bit like yesterday, feeling super flat but really enjoyed myself when I got out there. Think my cold is a tiny bit better today, maybe... Ended up being a bit of a race against the clock to get back to pick Josh up from the train. I crushed it.

Glutes and core when I got home. Day one of my little comeback went ok!

Woke up feeling incredibly fatigued and not at all keen for this. Went out just wanting to finish and kick start a bit of a comeback but by about half way around I started to really enjoy myself! Still not feeling particularly spritely but the fact it was a little less hilly meant I could still plod around consistently and not feel too exhausted. A lot better nav today which probably helped how I felt at the end too.
