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 🤓
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 🚿 🥶👍
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.
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 🤗
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? 😅
