W7R2✅ but so nearly put it off

[CazzaW]

I did this run yesterday, but so nearly didn’t! I was later going than usual and it’s warmed up again over here which is lovely but I don’t enjoy running in the heat despite loving the sunshine ☀️

I had lots of stuff going on, maintenance issues with the rental house we’re living in and various other problems needing calls, emails etc. but I was determined to run before I started dealing with them.

I’d warmed up, the phone rang and No 2 son wanted a catch up, lovely 🥰 but an hour later, just ready to go again, music and Jo all set, phone went again No 2 niece needing a chat 🥰 By this time it was midday and hotter and the gremlins were telling me not to go 👺 as I’d never complete it 🙄 I so nearly abandoned it but knowing the rest of the day ahead had the potential to be worrisome for me I pushed myself out of the door. New playlist 👌different route, took a wrong turn and accidentally ended up running alongside a very busy road which I didn’t enjoy but complete it I did 💪 Got home and realized it was 80% humidity 🥵 Can’t say I enjoyed this one but I felt SO much better mentally (can’t say the same for physically 😅) and it did equip me better for the day ahead.

Can’t believe only one more run til W8 😆

Keep going everyone and happy weekend to you all 💕

Well done, mate!! Are you from Aussie??

[CazzaW Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

English, but currently in Toronto with my husband’s job for 3 years.

[CazzaW Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

Yes 👍 sadly haven’t been able to see any live sport yet but hopefully next year 🤞

Good grief...isn’t that typical...family phone calls when you’re all psyched up and ready to Rock and roll!

Well done for finally getting out there...and bonus mental health benefit 🙌🏼

You rock! 👊💥👍🐌🐢🏃🏻‍♀️🎉

[CazzaW Graduate in reply to LottieMW]

Ah thanks Lottie 😊

Have to say family and friends phone calls definitely take priority as they’re what’s keeping me smiling at the moment 🥰 but C25K is definitely next 😂

Happy weekend, and well done on pushing through 🥳

I’m an early evening runner myself but that’s because I generally hate getting up in the morning 🤣

[CazzaW Graduate in reply to MinnieMoo55]

😂... and you have work to factor in which I don’t!

When are you doing your next run? I think I’m going to have to have 3 days off now and get back to my weekday routine. I’ve only ever had 2 days off each week over every weekend so hope I don’t forget what to do 🤣

[MinnieMoo55 Graduate in reply to CazzaW]

I’ve never done 3 days off either in case I don’t start again 😂 but I do think we’ve got far enough now that it won’t make much difference.

After a few weekends doing loads in the house before new carpets went down I’m going to chill this weekend and just see how it goes. If the mood takes me I’ll run on Sunday otherwise will also wait until Monday 😊

I didn’t realise you were newbies to Toronto. Canada seems lovely but I totally understand that Covid creates restrictions that mean you don’t get to see family which is just pants (and not of the Christmas variety!)

[CazzaW Graduate in reply to MinnieMoo55]

Yh bad timing unfortunately 😞 should’ve had 3 lots of friends out by now. We’re making the most of getting out and about exploring Ontario whilst we can. It is beautiful and we love the outdoors life. Just miss our boys dreadfully 😢 but it will get better 🙏

Enjoy your chilled weekend 😊

[MinnieMoo55 Graduate in reply to CazzaW]

And you...

I’m ashamed to say that I have a cousin who lives in Canada and I think Toronto, but have never been out to see her. That’s definitely not going to happen any time soon!
