Educating Enid - Fighting talk?

[Nilsam]

I don't know what has woken up in my "inner Enid" but she is suddenly full of fight and motivation.

A switch just clicked and she shouted..."You are fighting for your healthy life and victory is yours!"

I think she has been doing too much reading but I grabbed her arm and we ran like the wind...ok I went for a nice jog. 😎👍

[Hidden]

Thank goodness for Enid, my inner mouse has been squeaking like mad but if she hides behind Enid hopefully the fight will rub off, go Enid, go....well done with your nice jog too 🤗

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oh yes please borrow Enid, Jorge3.🏃‍♀️🐀🏃‍♀️ She isn't always in this mood. 😂 Everyone was so kind today shouting "Have a good day". So nice. Take care. Jorge3.

[Hidden]

Good on you Enid! Keep it up! All that energy and bounce is just what we all need right now.

Unfortunately I never made it out on my planned run today. I’m not avoiding starting week 9, it was just clear from the moment the morning got started that it just wasn’t going to happen today. Ah well. Better luck tomorrow 🤞🏼🍀😊.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Delly-dot...I think that is a pledge! Out tomorrow then...very slow...chirpy music...looking out for the post! Tee hee....only teasing. Only go if you want to.🤝👍

[Hidden in reply to Nilsam]

I’ll do my best! I’ve got my Pilates class tomorrow too - being delivered live online (because of C-19) for the first time, so I’ve got to get my head round that technology first!! Apparently my instructor will be able to see me if I enable the camera 😆..... Could be interesting 🤣!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

That's brilliant...a friend was talking about the same thing. Have fun. Let us know how you get on. 🧘🏼‍♀️👀

[Roxdog Graduate]

Wow that is a resilient and strong Enid! I bet she helped you rather than hindering you today! Great that you enjoyed your run!

Tough times, tough runners!

I have been told to work from home for the foreseeable future which will be difficult because I will miss my colleagues, but plan to run in the mornings before settling down in my living room office. Might even keep my running shoes on during all the Skype meetings! Oh, and allotment work in my lunch breaks!

Stay safe and well.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Sounds like a plan. I use a timer to keep me focused. Even a break of running upstairs after an hour otherwise you just don't move the same as in an office. But no travel time so a run fits in. Stretches in alternative days. 🤝👍 Keep posting 👀

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Will do! The forum can be a refuge. Good advice about working from home thanks. I will run tomorrow first thing. 😊

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Yes...that is another reason why I use a timer...it can gobble up work hours too. 🙄👩‍💻

[Roxdog Graduate]

If it felt like you ran like the wind then you probably did!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Hmmm the phone tracker says different but it did in my head. 👍

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

That's fine - I was an actual gazelle the other day! 🦌

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Love it.

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Good for your inner Enid, she is looking so well😀stay safe and stay well

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you, Willowandsola. The better weather helps too. 😎

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Yay! Go you and go Enid! I think your rubbing off on dear Enid 👍😁

And you’re rubbing off on me too, as I might just get my watercolours out tomorrow 🎨😉

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Ooh yes, that's brilliant 👩‍🎨👀👩‍🎨. It is a great relaxing hobby. Let's get creative in our isolation. 😎👩‍💻

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Ooo so many artists! I'm impressed!

[Comfortnotspeed]

Enid is fierce! That’s some girl power happening right there! Just what we need! 😍

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Yeah...girl power 🏃‍♀️and a bit of boy power🏃‍♂️ we will change the world! 👍🧘🏼‍♀️🤝

[Joanney69 Graduate]

Perfect 👌 ☺

Maybe Enid is finally getting the message - whatever has happened, long may it continue 😊

Stay safe both of you 💕 🏃 ☺

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Joanney69]

Hmm we will see...🤣👩‍🎨 Thank you and you too, Joanney69. 🤝

Sorry I just Couldn't resist, setting MY Inner Enid, free... I can see them now, there faces, contorted in Merry Mirth. (What was the name of the Dog? Someone Please.)

Anyway I must run, I have some Errands To Run.... Oh Such Spiffing Fun.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to AndrewT]

Made me laugh so much...I read some Enid Blyton a few years back and had forgotten how stiff the language is. The dog is Timothy. 🐕❤

[AndrewT in reply to Nilsam]

Yegads 'Timothy' is right, You really are a 'Card'...…

AndrewT

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to AndrewT]

Oh smashing...🤝😁👍

[Granspeed Graduate]

Well Enid, you amaze me! Your determination just grows and grows. Be careful, you may be getting the Running Bug. And then you will pass it on to Nilsam and there will be TWO gazelles, running like the wind....

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Granspeed]

Hmm I hope it may continue ...🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️Thanks for your support.

[Mum22boys Graduate]

Enid is looking fab today! Great run for you both and thank you for keeping us smiling

[mom24uk Graduate]

Yay! Go Enid! You've got this! (And well done Nilsam for continuing even with a reluctant Enid, sounds like you've had a little break through! 👍)

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to mom24uk]

Thank you...I think it is a reaction to our current climate...even my inner moany self thinks we need to pull together. 😎👍

[lexi6 Graduate]

Wow! look at you go Enid! You’re winning Nilsam. Kapow! 🥊

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Thank you, 1710charlie. Happy running 🏃‍♀️

[Irish-John Graduate]

Cheers to you and Enid

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Thanks, Irish-John. 🍀

[Speedy60 Graduate]

You are an inspiration Nilsam. I spent my first day of social distancing reading too much scary stuff online, drinking coffee and eating hot crossed buns. 😔

After that, I decided never again! We're all going to need our sanity and our health to get through this. And it's your spirit and humour that is showing us the way.

Go you!👊

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Thank you so much, Speedy60. We are in it together and together we will survive. World in a different mode but ...we will. Enjoy those Hot Cross buns...sound yummy. 👩‍💻🤝
