So here I am sat in my running stuff waiting to get out after the delivery of a new router from BT, after many problems, an engineer and going on to the second router, I really can't afford to miss the delivery as to get the internet at the moment I have to sit on the router otherwise I get no reception.

I Have a small window of 1 hour left, after that the run will be very hard to fit in with everything else. I don't care that it is wet, cold and miserable I just want to get out. I only Maganged one run last week due to energy sapping work commitments and I need my run πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈβ€οΈ.

Anyone else find they feel very irrational when their runs are curtailed in this way?

Oh gawd yeah 😧 Like a woman possessed 😁 If events conspire to thwart me I get proper ratty. Best laid plans ey πŸ™„

On that note, I am off! Pot of tea, bowl of porridge, and I am a goner. 12k is today's mission. Co-ordinates set. Blast off! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜ƒπŸ‘

Sometime MrRfc will say "do you need a run?" he has learnt over the years coming between me and my runs is not to be taken lightly. Hope you had a great run.

Hope you got out there... !

I am itching to head out tomorrow, although it will be the slowest and shortest walk/ run ever.. ( I have promised my physiotherapist). But at least that is a reason. Sitting an waiting for stuff is so frustrating... ! And when the folk or the goods do not come..ekekekekke !

I did, and I managed a post op pb. I think running angry might of had something to do with thatπŸ˜€. Take it slow and steady and treat yourself with lots of TLC tomorrow, take care.. xxx

As our administrator you should know that it is never recommended to run in a highly emotional state..........overload of adrenaline, I suspect.

Glad you got out there. Dentist tomorrow, boss.
