Deja Vu.

It’s the silly season again for me.

Hard graft in gardening, property maintenance and unkind weather.

The gift of running on the back burner.

Stiff and tight different muscles.Ho hum but I am hoping to get easier, stronger and prepared also for the next Abi’s Summer Speed Challenge.

It has served me well so far and I am hoping to see future improvements in pace over improving distances.

Keep trucking, keep enjoying.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️⭐️⭐️👏👏

I too am hating having to balance my gardening and my running :)

The time pressure is, however, making me focus on making the best decisions about when/where/what etc so I think in the long run (lol) both my garden and my running will benefit :)

Tell me about it! I've got a huge allotment which has got away from me because of dog sitting, baby sitting, blah blah. My hedge cutter has a broken blade, my strimmer is in a tangle and my mower won't start. I'm fed up with it all. Moan, moan, moan

You’ve had a tough time, but your tough MW.

Atb with everything MW.⭐️👏👏

Keeping equipment on the mark is challenging also.

I have found MW over the years the more independent you are the better.But of course there are limits.

Some of this generation only know how to charge.🤔🙈

Gone are the days of an economic fix.Throw away society.🙈.Sometimes cost effective and more convenient to just go and buy new.🤔

Must get Victor Meldrew back in his box.🙈🤣

My mower needs new oil, new plug at the very least. I need to drag it out the shed to get the model Number. I bet it’s not somewhere obvious 😃

I couldn’t even get the shed door open as it swelled. I had to sand the ruddy floor down to get it open. I think him upstairs hates me 🙈🤷‍♀️🙏

You're a busy man Bob! Don't forget to keep stretching in between as it can be tough swapping activities about. I get same with work sometimes... stretch, stretch, stretch! I feel like elasticman at times 🤣🤣🤣

Hope you get back out soon 🤞😁

Hi Jo,

Thanks for this I had forgotten to do this.

I have been stupid.It is just logical and essential to treat your work/physical exercise in the same way as your cardio and strength.

You will be very busy with your arrangements and big day.💑

Thinking about you, you star.

👊💥🏃‍♀️⭐️👏👏
