LouLou 27 Mar 8:58pm, 27 Mar 2020 7637 posts	0 LouLou Hope everyone staying safe - Mrs WW and Fergus shielding must be really hard but hopefully does its job. Getting a few runs in though think I'll need to just walk as I feel guilty if I don't get the wee one out for some fresh air in the pram. Got 2 weeks of mat leave left before I return to work....so if I don't run that's ok would rather spend time with E.

riggsy99 28 Mar 12:38am, 28 Mar 2020 373 posts	0 riggsy99 Not ran since Tuesday been using my exercises pass to walk the dog with my wife. Spent seven nights working in ED and AMU had Thursday night off and back to it tonight. Got the treadmill set up now for a few runs Stay safe everyone
LouLou 28 Mar 7:44am, 28 Mar 2020 7638 posts	0 LouLou Sounds tough shift pattern and not easy areas to work in - hope you can get some rest riggsy.
Daz Love 28 Mar 11:33am, 28 Mar 2020 1319 posts	0 Daz Love Would also say that Abingdon would be thinking that lots of rescheduled marathons will also be happening at that time (hopefully) and therefore those that do a spring and autumn wouldn't be signing up.
riggsy99 29 Mar 8:30am, 29 Mar 2020 374 posts	0 riggsy99 Getting plenty of rest LouLou I am ex forces and my wife is in military wife mode and making sure I am looked after Got out for just over 3 miles yesterday afternoon before work last night

Got something to say?
