I hope you’re enjoying these little insights of the guys in lockdown because next up is Bex from Team LAFA. As always, social media links below;
Lockdown has been pretty busy for Bex!
She has spent a lot of it training, and been lucky enough to continue her weights training at the gym at work. At home she trained in the garden with Kirsty, her partner, which was great fun for both of them as they don’t often get to train together. They did a lot of circuits using all kinds of things from the garden shed!
And where would we be without some tyre dragging? Bex has been doing the tyre dragging regularly and made it to 10km. The Epsom Downs near where she was living were perfect for it with the different terrains and of course the view really helped!
Having a dog has been great company for them and also meant they got out walking. Poor George has never been walked so much! Take a look at him being carried by Bex in this picture.
“Work was quite strange over lockdown, driving around central London seemed like something from a zombie apocalypse film, it was eerily quiet. I also got put through an emergency driving course at work, which I passed, so I am now a qualified driver at work!” We are super proud of Bex for that achievement, I bet there are a lot of us reading this who would want to drive a fire engine?!
And as if all of that wasn’t enough Bex and Kirsty, and of course George, also moved house. The whole process was a slightly different feeling to normal during lockdown due to social distancing, but it still went pretty smoothly for them all.
Add in Bex and Kirsty doing a food bank collection at the start of lockdown in their village, VE day celebrations and a birthday it’s been a busy time. Check out the picture of Kirsty in their trusty van with the food ready to go.
The birthday I mentioned was Bex; “I had my birthday during lockdown which was actually lovely, I had a nice walk and then takeaway and Prosecco in the garden!” What more could you want from a lockdown birthday?
And of course, Bex joined in with the rest of us in celebrating VE Day “which was a great and fun day; socially distancing on the drive with the neighbours drinking Pimms and eating afternoon tea.” I don’t know about you but I think Bex has had a busy time in lockdown but also managed to have some lovely moments, given the crazy circumstances we find ourselves in.
