There are times in someone's life where we need to run, this incident I am about to share made me realise the important of doing exercise , and they have been telling me to keep fit because I have a good body, this is my husband's words.
The essence of exercising never came to my head until I was on the run, I know you want to hear the full gist, okay let me continue.
it was a bright Monday morning when I went to drip my first daughter at school and I remember I also had to drop a delivery for a client, he had asked me to help him pick up the laundry I had gave to the dry cleaners the previous week, so it was a responsibility to get it back to him, and then get my balance for the job done, so I quickly hurried my daughter to school and my son was at my back because I had to back him the way we Africans do carry our kids, and also because it would enable me walk faster.
Normally I usually took my son with me for delivery, but some neighbour had advice me to take him to daycare so he can be familiar with being with other kids, and that Monday was the first time at the day care and so after dropping my daughter off, I headed for the daycare and did same with my son.
And on I went with my delivery work, on getting to the laundry shop , I saw that they were yet to open up the shop , I had to call the guy in charge on phone and few minutes later he was there, I took my clients laundry and headed for his house, I had to walk there because it wasn't easy getting a bike going to the place, because the street had bad roads and people usually avoided the area.
I had called the man that I was in my way there and he said okay , that he would wait for me because he took was about to go out but he needed the laundry delivered as he had a meeting to go to in one of the clothes.
I got to the gate and called him again but this time he was not picking up, as I moved to knock on the gate I found out that it was opened and like a fool I went in, after taking two steps inside the compound, my worst night mare appeared like it would in a dream, God I don't know how I did it, the way I ran up the stair case of my client, I don't know how the energy came, and I didn't take any meal that morning, as I ran the dg chased o, all the way up the long stairs I was shouting my clients name "Mr Gbenga, Mr Gbenga" what saved me that day was that immediately I got to the door of my client was the same time he opened the door, I just pushed him aside and ran inside the house, the dog was at my heel, my client shouted at the dog, I heard all this from inside his apartment and then I saw "Mr Gbenga" with the bag of laundry I had been holding few seconds ago, I didn't even know when I dropped it.
Thank God all the laundry were neatly wrapped if not it would have been stained, my client apologise and said it was his neighbour's dog and that maybe he had gone to buy something and that was why the gate wasn't locked, it was just remaining small , I would have peed on myself.
What an experience In this new year, the people I told when I went back home all had a good laugh, I didn't know I could run like that o. Now I see the essence of exercising.
Thanks for stopping by.
See you in my next post❤️❤️
