Hello my lovely running family..

Yes, I’m still here, I haven’t fallen in the canal...

Week 2 of 10 is the magic number & im still on it!!

I completed a very satisfying 5.5k on Sunday & I was over the moon & raring to go...6k next on Tuesday..ha, think again MummyCav....

So DaddyCav is a plumbing & heating engineer & occasionally uses labourers depending on how big & in depth the job is..well this one is BIG...the bathroom that he’s doing isn’t massive but it’s a complete rip out, back to the brick on the walls, ceiling down etc...you get it, yes, chaos!! I’m talking black lime up the nose & dust in every crevice!!! So, going back to the labourer...what labourer?? Oh that labourer, the one who’s decided he can’t come now?? Yes....so step in.....MummyCav...yep, I am now a plumbers mate...so Monday morning, I’m ‘on the job’ completely covered in black lime, bits of ceiling, sweat....all in 30 degrees of heat...until 2 o’clock so I have the school run straight after a quick shower once I got home...same on Tuesday (run day) except this time I was humping bags of chipped off tiles & cement a total of 39 times up & down the stairs..in 30 degree heat!! Needless to say I was cream crackered & not up for a run, it was too warm in the evening anyway...Wednesday was much of the same, I was very tempted to go out at 10pm last night but thought better of it so, I AM going out tonight....obviously the football’s on so my timing will have to be right coz I’m not missing that!!!! (I’m a MASSIVE football fan) so, if I’m relieved of duties at dinner time which I’m hoping for it might be then, if not I shall be giving the kids their tea & then they won’t see me for dust!!!!! Watch this space.......

Oh cripes MummyC! That sounds like flipping hard work! Good rest day workout though. 😂 Hope you manage to get out tonight - take water if it’s still hot! And football? Is there some kind of football tournament on right now? 😁 xxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Ha ha...there is minor football tournament going on the moment yes 😂😂 ...just been for my 6k...remembered my water, left it in the car...in the sun so it was practically at boiling point by the time I got back!!! 😂🙄😩

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

😓 pffft! That must have been a hot run! But good on you for getting out and doing your 6k my love! Very proud of you. But leaving water in the car?! Doh! Make sure you rehydrate now, and enjoy the footie, maybe with a lovely hydrating beer 🍺 later! You’ve earned it. 👏 x

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

Wow you may not have run but you’ve certainly worked hard! Take it easy out there this evening 🔥

I did my 6k this morning, took it super super slow to avoid overheating as it was already scorching at 8.45 am. I absolutely loved it, my favourite route down by the beach in my happy place 😊

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to JennyH10]

Aww, thank you JennyH10 ...down by the beach sounds absolutely perfect ☺️

[SaskAlliecat Graduate10]

We'll chalk it up to quite the week of crosstraining 😆 💪. You may not have been running, but you were working hard. When you do finally get out for your run, it'll be all the sweeter 😊

[Empem Graduate10]

Oh wow ..such hard work .Take care in the heat Mummycav. I'm in week 2 and feeling reasonably strong.You sound indomitable!
