Bad day, wish I could run!!!

Hello all

Today has been stressful at work. I'm the IT manager, amongst other many things, and I came in to find a case of ransomware on my PC. Thankfully I caught t early enough that it didn't spread but still, pretty bad day

And I got to thinking that I really wish I wasn't at work right now, and could go for a run to clear my head. I never thought I'd say that, but clearly I have the bug now!

All I can say is I can't wait for my day off tomorrow, W6R1 will be mine!!

You really have got the bug mate, good luck with the run tomorrow.

[Hidden in reply to Martin_Rose]

Thanks Martin I may still be here at work!!!

[Decker]

That's rough mate! And yes that's the bug alright! Yep there are some rest days you just wish you could run, but you know you shouldn't. Here's to better days and runs ahead

I wish I was running today Decker ...it’s a gorgeous autumnal day...perfect

[Decker in reply to Mummycav]

Ah yes, that's when we need to channel the voices of the 'wise ones' here. Maybe go for a walk instead🙂

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Decker]

Yes Decker ...my dog has a whole new purpose now!! 🐶

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

And you will feel so much better for it Hidden ....& the pay rise you’re obviously going to be getting for saving the companies life???? 🤔🙃

[Hidden in reply to Mummycav]

Yes I will! Not sure they'll be giving me a pay rise though... maybe a P45 if I'm lucky!!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😩...you’re not appreciated enough.....why no bonus??!!

Hope your day gets better, Neil. Focus on tomorrow, and the lovely run you will have, if you can! I didn't get out this morning as I wanted, because a) howling wind and horizontal rain b) 3 glasses of wine and a late night last night – neither of those things would have made for a good run, so have rescheduled for tomorrow.

In the meantime, my legs are itching to get out! It is all flipping sunny and blue skies here now, and I am gazing out of my prison* window wishing I could just up and leave and run. Sigh. x

[Hidden in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thanks Sadie things aren't too bad, the only person's day affected was mine really. I am looking forward to running tomorrow. According to the met office the weather where I am is due to be fine first thing, so I think it's going to be great. I find myself hoping that if I run far enough maybe I'll reach the place that sells bacon butties, then I realise I'm trying to be healthy now

[HeleneCorsa Graduate]

Urgh, sounds like a giant pain. Glad you have caught the running bug, but hope that IT-related bugs keep away in future. Hope you manage to deal with the problem in a reasonable amount of time.

[Hidden in reply to HeleneCorsa]

Thanks Helene, yup, giant pain indeed! It's under control now, and will be fine, this is what we have backups for! I'm just rather grumpy, that's all

[LeeU Graduate]

Neil,

I've been involved in cleaning up after a few virus' over the last 10-15 years, I feel for you as I know what it's like and the steps you take to avoid it spreading.

Get work fixed and then get your runs in, that's the beauty of running, it's always there when you're ready or able to pick it back up.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Great news Dave x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

And it will be all the better for you.. leave the stress and the worry behind and just enjoy the run

Enjoy!

[Hidden in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's run now. It even looks like I might get nice weather for it!

How's everything with you anyway, floss?

[Hidden]

Sorry you got bugged, but hey tomorrow you can debug to your hearts content. Looking forward to your post - good luck and happy running tomorrow

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Jan I can't believe I'm on week 6 already. Well over half way. Me, who struggled to run any distance. This programme's great, isn't it?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Isn't it just and so are you for sticking at it

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Jan, and so are you for running about a million k or whatever it was you did today

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hey I was same as you a little while ago...

[ejvcruns Graduate]

Hey Neil, wishing you a better day tomorrow. Isn't it great to have something for yourself? Greetings from the Land of Enchantment (official New Mexico State motto).

[Hidden in reply to ejvcruns]

Aw thanks Yes - it is, isn't it? And now that the runs aren't trying to drive me to an early grave, I'm really enjoying it. Rest assured my phone will be in aeroplane mode tomorrow during my run

[misswobble Graduate]

Oh ruddy computer stuff does one's head in doesn't it. A run is just the antidote to a stressful day. You can feel the cares of the day being dropped on the trail and left behind you

Have fun!

[Hidden in reply to misswobble]

Thanks and yes. I need a career change I think! Have a good day tomorrow yourself!

[Hidden]

Yes it will! Have fun and s great run 😃

[Sandyscroll]

I feel your pain! I had a grotty day at work yesterday too, and I was thinking the same about going out for a run. I thought I had an evening meeting to do as well, so I didn't go out running after work. But when I arrived to the meeting all was in darkness. It had been rescheduled for next Wednesday, which I'd put in my calendar, but hadn't deleted the original date. 🙈 I'm running tonight for sure. No arguments!!!

Enjoy!!! 🏃🏃🏃🏆

[Hidden in reply to Sandyscroll]

Argh!!! Nightmare! Just think how good it will feel to get out for that run. I hope you really enjoy yourself and relax. Oh, and hope you have a much better day today too!

[TJMazz Graduate]

Go out and forget all the stress and enjoy that run tomorrow. I'm sure you'll feel much better after 😀
