Post S3. Steve — inspired by how out of shape the kids were, knowing they're about to enter highschool territory and will need even better stamina to protect themselves from bullies, and it's just good for them — harasses the party into doing morning cross-country style runs.
At first they obviously try to get out of it. But once Steve starts withholding their chauffeur privileges for a week per run they miss and proves that he means it, they begrudgingly go along with it.
Steve’s not mean about it. He doesn’t push them to run particularly fast or for excruciatingly long distances. As long as they keep themselves moving, he’s happy about it.
Of course even better are the few days where he’s able to convince Max to join them — usually through promised milkshakes afterwards.
She never jogs with them, instead skateboarding either behind them all or taunting them from in front. Which again — Steve’s just happy she’s out in the sun with them. And if the boys are too out of breath to try and strike up any kind of conversation with her when she’s not in the mood for it, then it’s all the better.

Robin’s a special case. She is, of course, her own adult (as much as you can be at their age, anyway) and Steve loves her like no other, his Platonic Soulmate capital ‘P’. But Steve’s now finished his third round of Upside Down dealings, and he’ll be damned if he leaves her to deal with the aftermath all on her own. (Like he may have felt back in the beginning, but he doesn’t often like to acknowledge those particular feelings).
So when the Underground Bunker and Torture flavored nightmares finally start to make their appearance, Steve knows just the solution.
Much like the kids, it takes some convincing. Especially considering it’s nearly the middle of the night.
But Robin’s much more willing to indulge his jock tendencies. And once they get going, having snuck out Robin’s thankfully ground-floor window, she starts to see the benefit. Simultaneously releasing the body of its flight-or-fight adrenaline rush and helping to get them out of their heads.
She still hates the actual running part of it. Bemoans every time they come back covered in sweat (okay so mainly just Robin, Steve’s only “lightly damp” by his own words).
Yet Robin is the one to suggest moving their runs to the daytime as they slowly recover from Starcourt. Slowly able to get a proper night’s rest again.
Eventually it almost just becomes habit to quick change, grab their drinks, and go for a lap around the downtown shops if they both get off shift before the sun sets.
And if a certain unsuspecting metalhead happens to keep almost walking into signposts whenever the two of them jog past, well, Robin’s entitled to a little free entertainment. ;)

more EF defaults!
more! MORE! i'm tryin to clean out the default projects littering my desktop.
efTopFlaredWaist replaced by @goatskickin's conversion of @pforestsims's Open Blazer with Padded Shoulders. Does this at all resemble the original Maxis top or carry the same vibe? No, but consider this: it's better. It's got pockets.

efBodySweats replaced by this Goat outfit. I knew it would make the perfect default as soon as I saw it. Available for everyday and gym clothes.
I did not replace the black color, as I'm pretty sure it's a hidden career outfit and also I didn't feel like it.

Misty walk with Mags this morning but it was lovely and peaceful. We saw a couple of her friends and played ball all the way home ❤️
Worked at home, only finished 5 mins late which wasn't bad at all considering how busy the phones were. Hung laundry out, made halloumi saag for dinner, went out for a short jog while it was simmering. This was such a humbling 'run' lmao I haven't been out in a few weeks after a couple of really busy weekends, periods, and being ill. So today was just to ease back into it and it sucked tbh my stomach felt awful and I felt like I wanted to vomit a lot of the time, and I'm still a bit congested so breathing was extra hard. But I got outside, and I got sweaty, and I didn't stop so it was 100% a win 🥰
Showered, had dinner, and now chilling before another busy weekend, catching up on chores I've fallen behind on because of previous busy weekends 🫠

Found another echinoid on my jog walking route. Walking litteraly a few times around it. 🙈
In this place, near field and two road & streets in this littered dirt. On it’s the bottom first seen.
And found some thin struckture in an rock of silicate, quarz, like in some sponges or corals?
Washing it at home, posting tommorow.

27.7.24 | things I enjoy when I walk / run
I've been getting out the house, not only to do my running but to walk as well. I genuinely enjoy walking, especially when I have something to aim for or things to watch.
My love for bubble tea has been revived. It was fun to grab some after I did my 8km run.
I am enjoying observing all the nature at my wildlife reserve. Lots more bugs than usual out and about which is a real joy!
