Friday run in the sun ☀️

Headed out at 10 this morning, and said cheerio to my eldest teenage boy ( aka Rip Van Winkle ) who was just getting up. That’s the earliest he’s been up all week, and I asked him nicely to be out of the shower 🚿 in about half an hour .

I paid the price for not setting off earlier today in the 2nd half my run as it was all sunshine ☀️ and hardly any shade ....so I found that fairly tough going.

Perhaps due to the heat I didn’t manage to achieve negative splits ( sorry GTFC ) this time around , but still not a bad run by my low standards.

Back home 🏡 and after some dynamic stretches I’m desperate to jump in the shower 🚿 but eldest boy is still in there 😡 I’m sure that’s a familiar story to anyone with teenage kids.... He says he got distracted and lost track of time 🤣, never mind .....deep breath ....and cool off in the shade of the back garden.

Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ all, keep safe.

Great run Martin 👍👍

Evil dad trick could just be our plumbing but when our loo in top bathroom is flushed ( 2 loos posh me 😂) the shower does a nice ice cold fluctuation cunningly evil but it tends to eject a bathroom hogging teenager 🤓

Thank you IMC50 👍

Yeah, I’d love that sort of arrangement to eject a teenager from a shower 🤣

We’ve got two showers too (lucky us too) but one of them stopped working a day or two after lockdown. Perhaps post lockdown l’ll ask the plumber for make us a similar arrangement to yours 🚿 🥶👍

Thank you very much Buddy.

Well done on your run today too, I saw it’s very hot today in Scotland.

Enjoy the rest of your day too 👍

You went out like the clappers!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Loved this mate. Know exactly what you mean about teenagers buddy. That's a cracking run. How did it feel? Are you getting used to the hotter weather?Great splits and to be honest, negative splits I struggle with. A nice quick pace throughout though. Sure signs you are going places.

Thanks very much GTFC,

I felt fine after the first 2k or so.

I’m not used to running in the heat yet, so the second half felt like hard going to be honest.

Of course need to work more on stamina and fitness and all that good stuff.

Hope you’re all good, enjoy the rest of your day 👍😎

Sounds like a fast run to me, especially in the sun. Go easy on your son, they need their sleep at that age 😂😂 hope he left some hot water. Happy running 🤗

Thanks very much Grannyhugs.

Yes I did go easy on my son, I was a little exasperated but mainly I was laughing 🤣

Fortunately he did leave some hot water this time 👍

Happy running to you too 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍

It is hot at the minute isn’t it? Couldn’t you have just hosed teenage son down? 🤣🙀 Then you could have nipped into the bathroom.....

Love that idea IrishPrincess 👍🤣

Would have definitely done that, had he not been in the shower already.

Next time though ...

Happy running 👍

Brilliant run Martin. 👍🏃‍♂️🎉 Extra impressive in the hot sun - I simply wilt when I get hot, so I’ve been going out fairly early 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️You did a fantastic job. 👏

My 3 kids (who are all in their 20’s so should know better) don’t cause an issue with showers - but they seem incapable of turning off lights. I love having them home at the moment, but really guys? 😅

Thanks very much cheekychipmunks.

Funny about your kids still leaving lights on everywhere, that’s a sign of things to come for me I’m sure 🤣

Hope you enjoyed your virtual park run earlier, you are an early bird 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍
