55 today, so had a nice 5k run ๐โโ๏ธ in the pouring rain โ๏ธ ๐ง in advance of one or two little drinks tonight.
My other half informs me that there was steam coming off of my almost hairless head upon my return home, but Iโm not bothered about that ๐ช
Pity my pace wasnโt 5.55 per km to have a complete set of all the 5โs ๐คฃ
Stay safe, and happy running ๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ

Thank you very much FP, I was initially waiting a bit for the rain to stop...but just went for it when I realised that it wasnโt going to stop anytime soon.
Glad I did, as itโs still pouring now.
Thanks again, and Happy running ๐

Thank you very much Ju-Ju.
Myself and my teenage kids love doing your plankety plankathon.
Itโs such a great exercise, thank you ๐.
Iโm also hoping to start your magic 10k plan in May. Is it a certain date in May ?
Iโm just asking so I donโt miss out.
