Saturday morning in the park..

...and the regular runners, grim-faced in their lycra.

And the dogs with their owners, cheerful comrades armed with poo bags.

And me, reluctant in my own grim lycra, jogging along at a cautious pace, my bemused dog at my side - until said dog spotted a squirrel, at which point we both put on a turn of speed that I hadn't thought myself capable of. It didn't last, but nor did it lead to collapse.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Oh brilliant, that really made me laugh! Hope you recovered OK after the sudden increase in pace.

I can just see you being yanked off in the direction of the squirrel. You probably ended up running more than 5k!
