I had such a laugh now - just have to share. For various reasons I had to go and fetch my daughter today, take her to some appointments, etc. We sit chatting about this virus and I ask her - so how's it affecting you guys at school. Other than extended holidays, of course. (Background - she's in an all-girls school...) So she says... well, apparently we now have to catch up work via Google classroom - that's just not holiday! I really cannot fault her logic there. And then being the positive one she is continues into... So we know and have been told the hug thing is a bit of a no-no. So now most of them do the "elbow pump". And then... (That's my girl!) she and her buddy worked out this really freaking cool "foot shake"! As a greeting, she even taught me it. Unreal - they just don't let anything phase them and find a solution! Ja well, it's a bit off the running topic. So I called Oceans right, who knows what may happen in the time to Comrades. I honestly told my wife on Friday evening - I'm not running Oceans. There's just no way I can take a sachet and pop it into my mouth not knowing where it's been. (I know I'll get slayed for not carrying my own) And I think the moral of the story is - we must be like the kids. They simply roll with the punches. There are some thing money can't replace. I am fortunate to have a beaut of a mountain in my back yard. I expect to use it extensively over the coming few months, both running and riding. We may not have a next target race. So what?! Be ready for one when it comes along. Stay healthy, stay safe, stay active.
