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 morning, and if I fancy a ride. Only a week or so til we travel to Svalbard now, so got to get in what I can while I can.

Just got to test negative now! Last test was 2 days ago and still positive. Testing in the morning, so let's see.

Day 8 - Test time.

Nope, no suspense this time, straight up positive still.  My gentle morning walk was a bit more of an effort than expected to begin with, coughing almost immediately, but settled in OK in the end. Temperature is down to 36.6c now which is nice. I can feel the difference as its starting to drop.  4 days of isolation left now inc today, so the clock is ticking down nicely now. Can't wait to get out for some gentle exercise. Cue the shite weather!

Day 3 - Doctaly Consultation

When I first registered the positive test on Wed, I got a few texts and emails telling me what to do next. One of which was from my GP, asking me if I would like to complete a self assessment with an online doctor. Doctaly Assist. This was to be done via Whatsapp. Replying to questions to a bot, I was asked about symptoms, for a SATS and temperature reading, and some other general questions. Today I receieved a message from a doctor on the chat, as a follow-up. Asking about how things had progressed in the last 24 hours, and enquiring about my cough, I told him I had been bringing up green stuff when coughing. So as a precaution he has prescribed me anti-biotics so my chest doesn't get any worse. The one main concern I had, addressed over a Whatsapp chat, what a wonderful service. Paula my sister is kindly picking them up for me, so hopefully I can stop it getting too bad on my chest. In the meantime, my temperature continues to rise, 37.1c now, and my body battery has started no...
