Back to work but needing health!

So it was back to work today, which meant an early night yesterday right? Wrong! After getting in bed at 9pm I found myself restless, coughing, sneezing, with a runny nose and constantly going from being boiling hot to freezing cold. Yes that is right I have a cold, but not just any old cold.... the dreaded man flu :p Ok exageration but the night was spent getting up to open a window, lying down, getting up to get water, lying down, getting up to shut the window, lying down, getting up to go to the toilet thanks to the water that I'd drunk, lying down, and so on. Fan blooming tastic. Anyway the last time I looked at my phone before falling asleep it read 4:35 am, 7 and a half hours after I'd first got in to bed. See this is the problem with being ill, it makes you miserable and you swear that if you can be better you will be so so happy and you will never take being healthy for granted again, you will do anything just please let me be better. I'm almost at that stage, you see I don't do being ill, I can't just lie in bed that is not my style at all. I don't like taking medication because your body is meant to fight itself, that way you stand a better chance of being immune, or better tolerant to it. Well I have had to cave in because I need to be able to talk for work so let's hope that this works and I'll deal with it coming back when it does, but I'll try and eat more fruit.

In March I've decided to run 5miles with work for charity. 5 miles isn't that far if we are honest, and I've been told 40 minutes would be very good, so I need to beat that by some way, this month and next month I will aim to jog 5 km at least 4 times a week and want my time to be under 23 minutes by my birthday. In order to do so I need to get healthy soon, and probably get my back sorted out, finally I need to make sure I am eating healthly and not drinking much alcohol or fizzy drinks.

Finally it is amazing how she can still make my day from 5000 miles away, just by sending a text saying she hopes it reaches me and that I had a good new year. It was so nice to read that and nice to hear certain words.

Anyway this was a brief blog a quick daily update and a nice end to the day for me.
