    Happy Tuesday!!!! I'm heading out first thing to get cough suppressant for my son, poor guy has a pretty nasty cough now.

    Have a fab day my friends. I'll be powering back the coffee since I was up half the night listening to the hacking

    I hope your little guy is feeling better today!

    Hi all, finally feel like my life is my own for a while. All my summer time obligations have been fulfilled! Yay.
    So, headed out for a short run yesterday. It was HOT. Well, considering I haven't done any warm weather running yet this year, 26C was tough. Only walked a few steps, a few times, and finished. It was slow, but mostly steady. :)

    All that matters is you did it!!! Only compete with yourself :)
    That’s been my motto since I’ve been running and it always makes me feel ok about my time and makes me want to push myself to be better!
    Good for you for getting out there and getting it done ✅

    It’s been 6 months since I gave up soda/pop and also caffeine 😮

    I did the same about a year or two ago. Well, I still drink Diet Coke occasionally but most of the time I have spring water, fresh juice, or weak(er) diluted squash. Gave up coffee due to it making me feel sick one day, or at least I thought it was the coffee. Either way, don't miss it and feel better drinking more water and fresh juice instead.

    It was breaking out of that particular habit of having one in the morning, without fail, that was the best part I think. Knowing I could stop one long-term habit meant I could stop any of the others, with a bit of self-discipline. Also gave up smoking (both types) and drinking alcohol (aside from the random couple of beers every few months with friends), all around the same time too.

    Best decisions I ever made, to be fair. Apart from being a little overweight and unfit, I still feel a hundred times better than before.

    Starting the divorce process which is hard and sad but using this opportunity to better myself including my body. It’s time for me to focus me which I haven’t done in ten years. Feel free to add me. I need all the support I can get and I’ll do my best to do so in return.

    So sorry to hear you are having to go through that but I love your attitude ♥️
    You should put yourself first and learn to love yourself. It is very empowering!!!
    Way to make a positive out of a seemingly negative situation 👍🏼

    Great point! I've been walking during the last hour before sunset, when it is cooling down. Much easier to get moving when it is not blast furnace hot.

    It has definitely been hot the past couple of days. I have to get out to run at least by 6:30 in the morning or wait until 7:30 in the afternoon. Later in the afternoon would be better but it would be dark before I get home. Even at that I still look like I’ve taken a shower because I am soaked 😕

    Seems so many places are so hot right now. It was super humid here today after our big rainstorm. Friday and Saturday are supposed to be super hot. Tomorrow not so bad but I have a lunch date so no running after I drop the boy st camp. Sadly.

    Yeah, it's pretty hot here at the moment (for me anyway lol). Had to attend a jobs fair and decided against shirt and tie, opting for shorts and t-shirt. So glad I did. Wasn't the only one either, so that was good. :D Still nailed the impromptu interviews, regardless of attire.

    Rained in the afternoon a little and by the looks of it, overnight too. But it'll creep back up into the 20's again, no doubt.

    It was another warm one yesterday, so got on my bike. I am embarrassed to say it was my first time on the bike this year! Me, who LOVES her bike and cycling just sat in the saddle for the first time yesterday. What?!
    It was a wonderful ride. Rode 14 miles in 70 minutes. Thought I was gonna die on those hills. :)

    So I went for lunch with a friend. He is inching toward 90 he told me today. He will never tell me his actual age. The man looks amazing. He looks after all his friends and family and still works. We decided it is imperative to keep active. My friends range from 20s to 80s. I love when I do active things with my older friends. It really does inspire me to keep active and fit.

    Then I went for a run. A garbage man called out to me telling me I should sweat a lot. Well I did. Running after a big lunch in the heat of midday isn't the best idea ever. But I got it done
