Hi Runners

Today, I foolishly offered my son a lift to college as I intended to drive to the park to run. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Well...2 and1/2 hours later I arrived at the park, having experienced my faffing gene in full flow! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฏ. โ€œ Look ๐Ÿ‘€ can we go now?โ€ ! I say and ignoring the absolute waste of time, Iโ€™m able to finally get in the car and Iโ€™m set free for a rather frustrated start to the run.

But...itโ€™s been a great release and Iโ€™m finished just in time to avoid the after school traffic! ๐Ÿค” So I wonโ€™t faff! Iโ€™m off home! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

Happy running Runners! ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

You canโ€™t beat a good bit of faffery! You got there in the end - well done you!

You came. You faffed. You conquered. That's what counts. Well done. I'm back out after about 6 weeks. Onwards and upwards. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•บ

It is difficult if your timetable gets messed up.

Maybe a bit of tough love for your kitten!

You may have faffed, but it wouldnโ€™t be you if you didnโ€™t ๐Ÿคฃ. You got out there and got the job done again, thatโ€™s all that matters... well done.

Thank you! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค— Iโ€™ve been faffless for a few runs ๐Ÿ˜ƒ, that has spoilt me, but my old friend was well and truly back today! 2 and 1/2 hours ๐Ÿ˜‚! Shameful! ๐Ÿ˜ณ Never mind itโ€™s history now. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝโค๏ธ

You faffed and you ran - winning! may not have been as planned but you did it. You are a tough one ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿป!

We can call if a faffing relapse lol...hopefully you will do the next few runs (as the before) without it :-)
