In early June I reached probably my all time peak fitness, and my lowest weight for 20 years, before my seasonal hay fever kicked in and I had to pretty much stop. This year it started later than usual, so late that I thought I\u2019d got away with it, but when it hit me it was I think the worst it has ever been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know if this is typical or not but for me hay fever brings on seasonal asthma, so I\u2019m getting very short of breath even if just going for a light jog. I end up wheezing heavily and having to walk home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve previously been prescribed a Salbutamol inhaler but the one I have is empty. I couldn\u2019t get a repeat prescription this year because it had been too long since the last one, and I didn\u2019t feel like waiting 3 weeks for an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then August came around and the symptoms went away almost overnight. Then within a week we were in the park and Henry was playing football with some friends and the kids wanted the dads to join in. Other than kicking a ball about in the garden with him I hadn\u2019t played since I was at school. I was never that into it, but actually it was really good fun! Until I went over on my left ankle and \u2013 it seems \u2013 sprained it pretty badly. It was very swollen the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so I have had a lot more time on the sofa lately, and started to put weight back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aderowbotham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_0391-1024x814.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12155\" width=\"442\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aderowbotham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_0391-1024x814.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aderowbotham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_0391-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aderowbotham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_0391-768x610.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aderowbotham.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/img_0391.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s now coming up to eight weeks since I did the ankle thing, and finally it feels strong enough to run on. And Stamford Striders is back on doing socially distanced runs in smaller groups, so I\u2019m going tonight. Joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things are feeing strangely positive for the first time in weeks. I\u2019m sure this is just a combination of a good night\u2019s sleep and the sun on my back but I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been working in the garden today.
