W9R3 well the day finally came. It was a lovely sunny morning at last no rain. I put on a short sleeved top a bit chilly to start but boy was I sweating after. Anyway I ran along the river determined to go bit faster or further. I finished 5k for the first time alright it was in 33.32 mins but I am chuffed to pieces. 9 weeks ago I struggled with 90 seconds. Just goes to show you can do it at any age even a 55 year old menopausal aching mess like me but what an achievement. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜œπŸ‘

Ah thank you. Cakes how lovely. Think I will treat myself to a glass or two of red tonight. My partner helps me by massaging my achy body it really helps. Good luck with your journey πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’―πŸ˜€
