Successful run considering

Really happy, exhausted, achy, smelly, bright red, but happy. Decided to opt to stick with week 2 after a week off, and yeah I thought I’d be lucky to manage 3 runs, especially after the struggle with the first, but I somehow pushed through and did it all.

Shower and on to the never ending pile of laundry that has spread its way across the kitchen floor as apparently that’s the place to put it when you’re a teen.... 🙄

Great you got out and did wk2 . I think the sweaty, smelly red face look is really in 🤣.

My 2 daughters used to leave the washing on the bedroom floor . My solution I bought a washing basket that sits at the top of the stairs and said that's where it goes. Enjoy the rest of your busy weekend 😊

Lol I think it must be. Passed another couple of people out for a casual jog looking like their were owning the look too 😂

Yeah, I’ve had the washing basket. Seems it’s for decoration in this house 🙄 Time for another chat with them I think lol

Thanks, you have a great weekend too

The funniest thing that ever happened to me was changing my sons bed and deciding to turn the mattress, i lifted one side up and there was a gun under there, i never changed his bed again, now a perfectly ok guy in his thirties i mentioned it one day and he laughed and told me he still had it somewhere but couldn’t remember where it came from and never had bullets for it

Being farm stock i was used to guns but that bothered me for months, and i haven’t a clue when his sheets got changed after that as he was grown and moved out

Oh my life! 😳. I don’t think I’d go anywhere near it again either lol

I’m not surprised it bothered you. The joys of teens 😀

They were strange years to be sure but must have been ok because they are delightful adults and parents themselves now
