End of Day 5

Phew, really ran out of energy by this evening, but have my appetite back a bit. Probably partially the extra food I took on that sapped the energy from my reserves. Nice to actually feel like I'm fueling myself again now. Maybe tomorrow I will be sensible enough to take it a little bit easier physically, and save some energy for existing.

Cough a little more productive this evening, but a lot less frequent, so throat feels like it's getting a bit of break.

Resting HR has been nicely back down at 43bpm today, while temperature has remained at 36.8c

Still feeling positive that things are on the up, but also more than aware that I am still a bit poorly, and just don't want to accept it. 

Will tomorrow bring a negative test? I doubt it right now.

Running outdoors resumed today.

Wow that was lovely to get back out there on two feet and see what my body had left in it. I was a little concerned about running, but I needn't have been.  Starting out nice and gently, with a simple, flat 5k being the goal, I felt better than expected from the off. Setting out a little faster than planned, I eventually just settled into a 10.15min/mile average and kept it there. Giving things a chance to warm up a bit, inc my body as it was a bit chillier than I thought! Much to my surprise my lungs were fine, breathing wasn't a struggle in any way, and my HR remained under control, falling nicely after any inclines.  One thing I did notice throughout the day post run was a cough. Not bad, nothing serious, but more frequent that it has been for the past few days. That said, its productive, so that's a good thing. Clearing that chest up nicely now. Oh and sore legs! Still achy this evening, after such a short run, haha!  So that's me, let's see how I feel in the mo...

Covid Isolation - Day 10 - Mixed results.

A day off work today, originally booked for an appointment, but obviously I can't attend anything right now. So I am making the most of it and having a rest from as much as possible. Not a bed nights sleep, but definitely more lethargic in the mornings, possibly due to knowing I can't go out and do anything, rather than not having any energy. Had a bit of a sore knee when I got up, so decided todays activity should be low impact. So I went for a 1 hour treadmill walk instead. Slowly increasing the speed. Felt nice and low impact. Then of course we moved onto the test. Day 10 LFT, still hoping (I'm joking) for early release. Within a few mins of starting the test, the positive line was starting to show. Ann meanwhile had also tested but was showing as negative. This is from one of the newer kits we have, which is nose and throat swabs. Between us we have four sets of tests, two each of nose only, and nose and throat ones. I had used an older nose only. So out of ...

Covid Isolation - Day 5 - 100%

Last night was a pretty comfortable evening I must say, although lack of appetite meant me missing my dinner. Snacked on a few bits then hit the hay for the night.  Another early ish night last night, a tum full of pills, and a relaxation audio track playing, and off to sleep I went.  After a good long sleep I woke to get up to pee, and without thinking launched myself out of bed like I usually would, half way to the bathroom and I thought, "oh hey, I feel quite good". Back to bed and settled back to sleep in no time. Waking this morning, once again Garmin agreed with my take on things. A good sleep.  Giving myself time to wake up properly before jumping to any conclusions, I finally settled on the feeling that I was almost back to my usual self. I can feel some remnants of an infection on my chest. A deep inhale reminds me I don't have all my breath back yet. But aches and pains are gone, I don't feel particularly hot, although my temp is still up around ...
