Another 5K done

This morning I really could have rolled over and gone back to sleep but I made myself get up, had my one slice of toast, saddled up the dog and set out. The plan today was a short run to end the week so I could do 15k for the week. By the time I got into the forest the sun was out and things were going well so I pushed on and managed 5K in 44:33 still having some short walks between 10 minute runs but making progress. When I got back Garmin said my fitness age was 55 (I’m 64) that’s 10 years off since I started my recovery plan 6 weeks ago so I hope to be in my 30’s by the spring!!!! Hahaha 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣
