Do you remember on Friday I said that I seem to have more energy on Mondays, out loud for nagging sister to hear, out loud so that Vic.2 would send scornful looks at me, well, I lied! It was a huge spectacular lie judging by today's first run around park, (which is 1.2 miles round, so Vic.2 reminded me), yes, I said first run or jog, nagging sisters action man would probably call it a crawl.
The sun was shining when we left for the park, both me and happy neighbour was quite relieved, but by the time we got to the park, it had become a bit overcast and the wind was chilly, we were hoping nagging sister and vic.2 were not too far behind us, lets get this over with quickly.
Of course they wasn't, in fact they were there early, in a van, which I will tell you why later.
Nagging sister made us do some warm ups, oh if only that was true, I mean the warm bit, it was very chilly now. We headed off on the first lap, but just a quarter of the way round the wind picked up, it was chilly and it was literally taking our breath away, nagging sister on the other hand, was singing at the top of her lungs 'Oh what a beautiful morning' if the looks me, Vic.2 and Happy neighbour sent over to her could kill, then, she would...... still be standing! because we didn't have the energy to send over a toothpick, let alone daggers!
Nagging sister literally pushed me for half the first lap, even me standing in front of a tree didn't stop her from pushing me. But we all managed to get round, Vic.2 and Happy Neighbour did really well and jogged most of the way, but they were insisting they not going on the second loop. I timed our first lap, it was 15.25, ok slower than last week, but we did have that wind holding us back. Before we had chance to draw breath, nagging sister was at again, 'Come on round two' All three of us looked at nagging sister and said 'no way'. And would you believe it, nagging sister relented..............no, we didn't sit back in the car getting nice and warm, nagging sister said if we cant jog then we will power walk the second lap!
So off we go again, all complaining like anything, the wind was too windy, the cold was too cold, legs like jelly, lead and porridge!, You can imagine it cant you.
But nagging sister was up ahead of us, 'Go sister, go' I shout out to her, trying to get some distance between her and us, but she says 'Ok, I shall jog this and catch you up' So that's what she did, leaving me and the others to stroll along!!! Amazing!
But here comes the crunch, as we were walking, power walking of course, a fellow keep fitter said as she jogged past us 'Nagging sister says, ARMS!' Nagging sister has only asked any fit jogging person to nag us about our arms, keep up, jog on. She even asked two cyclists to 'encourage' us to keep on. 'Talk about nagging by proxy' says vic.2
So there you go, Now we have the entire park urging us to 'jog on' 'Arms', 'Don't forget to breathe'. Is there no sanctuary!
As I said earlier, nagging sister and Vic.2 arrived in a van, this is because cruella deNag has won a bid on ebay for some sort of instrument of torture that she was collected as soon as she finished dishing out her evil torture and she wants us all to go on it from tomorrow, before our jogs, its a cross trainer!!! ARRRRGGGHHH Help us, please, someone!!!!
Here's is a couple more pics of us all, before we started out, freezing it was too, and nagging sister in just a skimpy top!
So this is nagging sister, Vic.2 and Happy neighbour (who by the way has got such a girly girl way of jogging its quite amusing to watch)
And here's me with my fellow victims, properly dressed for the occasion!
Oh By the way, our second lap we did in 17 mins and something and nagging sister did her third lap in 11 mins and something seconds, tut!!
