Days 63-70/365 - Have developed a chest and ear infection in the past week and have a suspected hernia :(

Day 63/365 - 5km PT session with Ewan. by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
Start this week in a cold and wet Glasgow. All of the snow and ice has gone and has gotten warmer!!! This run was just a little one out with Ewan who is coming along well. We took so long because we stop off along the way to perform exercises!! Not just slow coaches!!!

Day 64/365 - Nostalgic run around my old x-country route by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
Was passing through Bearsden and decided to visit the old route that we did for cross country at school! My school has been since demolished and built somewhere else and houses now live on the old site. The route in question was feared by most at school for its distance and the hill section at both ends. Lets just say that the route must have gotten shorter or I have gotten fitter! One of the two!! It was nice to remember the sick feeling you got in your mouth when running in the winter really hard!! Great little run!

Day 65/365 - Advanced Run club with bad chest infection by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
So today my chest infection that has come from my cold has become debilitating. Had decided to take run club even though it was coming up for the festive holidays. With a very mixed group I hid in the back and ordered everyone else to do the work! Even so we managed to get over 10km in with me spluttering everywhere!! lovely

Day 66/365 - Christmas Day Park run at Pollok park by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
Agreed with Mark Robertson from Greens run club to do the Pollok parkrun this morning as it has become a tradition for the past three years to do it! Thinking I would take it easy and hang back with Mark my competitive streak rose to the surface and on the second lap I started to move up the pack. After realising I sound and feel like I have the lungs of a 80 year old I knew that I couldn't bomb it!! Even so, didnt do too bad and felt like crap after it! Commence operation stuff my face!!!!

Day 67/365 - Easy 5km but chest infection getting worse! by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
Nightime in Pollokshaws I decide to go on a regular route around shawlands. Nothing special and nothing to report. Although as well as the deepening chest infection I have started to feel a pain and pressure in my groin area??? Suspected Hernia??? I have decided therefore to stop all other training over the past week to try and recover from everything (but of course still run!!!)

Day 68/365 - Evening local 5km through Burnside. Coughing everywhere! by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
Not a nice night, filled myself up with pain killers and fat burners in order to increase my metabolism to get rid of the infection and help me run faster. And they did help!! Posting one of my fastest 5km times ever I worked hard through the infections and suspected hernia! Afterwards was not pretty though. Can't imaging where all this flem is coming from!! Its disgusting!!!!

Day 69/365 - Slow run through Shawlands, Now feel like i have a hernia!!! by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
There is definitely something wrong in my groin. Worried now as to what it is. I have been coughing alot while running and thinking that I have defo given myself a hernia. Will soldier on and get it checked after the new year weekend. Nothing really a doctor can do???
Don't know if it is both the running and the time of year that is resulting in my immune system being terribly reduced. Have acquired some Amoxocillan so while start this course of antibiotics and hopefully get to the other side !!

Day 70/365 - Little run through the west end. Hernia not feeling to good!! by tcfitness at Garmin Connect - Details
The pain in the groin is more apparent at the start of the run than at the end. Feels really weird and then kinda warms up. Have been informed that hernias are common but when they become strangulated that is where the danger lies!! Anyway - feeling sorry for myself I decided to run around the west end and have a nice coffee afterwards!!!!!
