I echo Sophies’s sentiments Motherforkin. Hope things can be improved for you.
Not fresh eggs every day Sophie, although we do get about 6 a week from them and they taste far superior to the shop bought ones. Sadly they don’t lay at all in the winter because there are less daylight hours. They are great pets, and my easiest to look after by far 
BR workout 10 done. Will do a WWL later.

Yes, Roonetta, a dog is good for the steps another 20k/13km today including a run this morning. I'll miss her when she goes home!
Shoulder is a long running problem Sophie. I pulled my subscapularus trying to improve my swimming stroke about 3 years ago and it never fully healed I think. I then unknowingly had a postural issue for about a year which caused a lot of tension in the area and last October I lifted a weight in a slightly funny way and felt it pop 
. The gp did say surgery may be needed given the full thickness tear but the consultant will have the final say. I'm going private so hopefully I won't have to wait too long. And whatever the plan, I'm looking forward to being able to do up my bra without it hurting!

Lovely to hear about your weekend away Oubliette. I was supposed to be going to a spa in Cardiff for the weekend in October with my sister but they have called to rearrange . Was really looking forward to it, but we’ll get there in the end.
20,000 steps is awesome Motherforkin. Maybe getting a dog is the answer . My DH pesters me daily for one, but I’ve got enough to worry about with two kids, two cats and four chickens so can’t think about another animal to add to my list. Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Hope there are non surgical options for you 
Well done on the burpee workout Sophie. Sounds exhausting! I split both the workouts, so did Epic at lunchtime and my WWL once the kids were home. I don’t think I’d be able to do it straight after one another.
Another Epic upper body workout and 2 mile WWL today.

Sorry I missed your post before MotherForkin. Very sorry to hear that 😔 Did they give you any idea as to how the tendon can be repaired or you have to wait for specialist? Please remind me how you did it again. I feel it was ages ago.... poor you

A weekend away sounds awesome, Oubliette, I'm glad you had such a nice time.
Didn't do properly exercise today but I managed 20,000 steps! We're dog sitting for a few days so I was out twice with the dog and the school run.
Got the mri results which aren't great. I've a small but complete tear in one of the tendons so waiting to hear when I can see a specialist to decide what to do next

Burpee cardio sounds hideous Sophie. It’s good to listen to your body. Sounds like you chose wisely 
.
I am not doing BR properly, I am just doing each workout once before moving onto the next (but not the cardio ). I find they fit in better with the time I have at the moment. However today I had a bit more time so did Epic 3 workout 4 full body dumbbell workout, and a 2 mile WWL.

200 days, Sophie!! Well done! 
I've had a crazy week at work, finally done with a 5 hour meeting today. Run tomorrowto pick up my car, I had a celebration glass of wine when we finished I promise!

Hopefully it will get a bit easier with the weather starting to cool down Motherforkin. I can't say I have ever been very successful at running, so I will always find it hard! Still looking into treadmills that both me and my DH can agree on.
Well done Oubliette!
You inspired me to do Epic 3 day 12 Sophie. I enjoyed it too but was surprised I had to drop down to 3kgs doing 'around the worlds' 
. Not sure if it is because I have stopped doing her workouts daily, or whether it was just bloody tough. Also managed a 2 mile WWL.
