Good morning runners and happy lockdown 3 to all! I know we don't technically start until tomorrow but best get in the spirit early. After 1 while day back at school yesterday for my youngest she's back off for another 6 weeks at least, thankfully for my 2 older girls who are of exam age the government has finally scrapped exams for this year 👌🏻 such a relief and weight off our minds. I felt lighter setting off running today knowing we had that issue sorted.
The Mrs has been furloughed so still some money coming in, I'm back in the boat of no cash coming in as there's just no work at the minute in my game 🤦🏼♂️ should only last this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Run today decided on 10k with NRC listening to a young native American boxer called Shy as I went, her and coach B passed the time nicely and the run went fairly quickly at about the hour mark. The pic with my times is one of the "puddles" I came across, luckily it was on my cool down walk so I backtracked and found another route, if I'd been running I may have just splodged through it 🤣🤣
Despite it being early and there being a lockdown I realised it was very very busy! The government really really needs to look into this "key worker" situation and make some changes. For me it should only be the absolutely essential folk like doctors, nurses, emergency services and the great folks that keep us supplied with food (shops, warehouse, deliveries) that should be working, having a lockdown and then expecting 75% of people to still go out to work seems stupid to me. People should be working from home or furloughed until this is sorted. I'm a "key worker" but what I do I mostly non essential, I have friends who work in car sales and are now "key workers" it's a bit of a shambles 🤣
I'm rambling! I hope everybody is fit and well that's the important thing, I hope if your running it's a good one 👍🏻
