That's what the T-shirt I wore today said so I did. Took Rico the laggard and used my garmin to track warm up, 5k run and warm down. 5k in 33:07 not too shabby. A new PB for 1k of 5:12 was nice.
Saw 3 deer and managed to keep Rico from chasing them - okay he didn't see them.
Looking forward to a relaxing Saturday.
Have great runs today and follow my t-shirt mantra - JDI or JFDI if you need motivating

Love it!! Fab time on the old 5k.... Sounds as if it was a perfect morning! Have to confess I am still in my bed with a big mug of tea......but in my defence I was in the gym every morning last week at 06.30 for an hour lol
I am no Lady.... But my "Sunday" name is Penelope for my sins..... Hence Lady Penelope shortened to LadyP.
I am training to do some Triathlons next year, but starting from the base of a complete couch potato, I knew I had to develop core strength and develop my major muscle groups plus lose about 3 stone!
Luckily my gym buddy is a PT and so she focuses on light weights and good form.
The upshot is that I didn't run until the first stone came off and running is now about basic good form, not speed or distance.
I am determined to get it right, go slowly in training to avoid injury and build on the basics correctly. I also now have swim coaching....
I think they call it a mid life crisis..... But whatever it is I am loving it !
Do you have the characteristic elegant running style of Lady Penelope with air splits every stride and pink trainers to match your car and is there a Parker? Oh how I need a Parker
Another run ticked off. Sounds like you had a good un! Good boy Rico! I think chasing deer could be a stresser for you. You'd get fit chasing Rico chasing them! LOL
You're doing great Lady P! I think a few of us here are having the mid life crisis. I know I am! Loving the running and fitness. I've dropped 4 stones in weight along the way too. Feeling better now than I've ever done
Funnily enough this week in the car I passed a woman on a bicycle with "Just Do It" on the back of her cycling shorts. Seemed a bit like having a "Kick me" label!
