When Life Catches Up, RUN!🏃 When It Get's Harder, Call A Friend. �...

We used to hang out over food.

Like buffets, lots of coffee and laughter.

We are the Weekdays Gang because we do not wait for weekends just to meet up and have lunch or dinner perhaps. Soon after we went to different companies (we all used to work together), we had more time to see each other. And eat a lot.

They are my dose of happy pill during burn out moments at work or in life in general.

However, life caught up and we seldom meet these days.

But communication is constant.

These days, it's mostly updating each other on how we're doing with our road to wellness inspired by Hive account@virgo27. Sadly, we did not make it to the target date September 3rd to treat ourselves with burgers.

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Unplanned Meet Up

I was out this morning at 6.00am for my morning run. Just as I hit my 2nd km, Hive account@virgo27 pinged the group to say he'd be at the nearby Umm Emarat Park with his mom so we agreed to meet there.

Look at how much weight he lost! He's been running for 2 months already... and he has already inspired many.

And look at us! If we just used to hang out over food before, now we're in serious business shredding the fats off 😆😅

A full round at the park covers close to 2kms already.

Soon after 2 laps I reached my 8kms target and had to leave virgo27 and his mom. Hubby Hive account@kennyroy had work so I needed to be home by 8am.

_{2 hours, 11kms today! 😎}

I'm missing the whole gang. I've just been seeing each of them randomly out of nowhere. Last week, I met Hive account@pingcess at the food court as I was having lunch and did not have much time to talk. Today was the same with Hive account@virgo27, not much chit chat.
