A birthday run - all the 5โ€™s

55 today, so had a nice 5k run ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ in the pouring rain โ˜”๏ธ ๐ŸŒง 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 Iโ€™m not bothered about that ๐Ÿ’ช

Pity my pace wasnโ€™t 5.55 per km to have a complete set of all the 5โ€™s ๐Ÿคฃ

If you are thinking about starting c25k or are part way though, keep going ....it is so worthwhile.

I only started at end of December 2019, and never thought I was a runner

Stay safe, and happy running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Yes itโ€™s my birthday today, and thank you for your kind birthday greetings.

This morning I was initially waiting a bit to see if the rain stopped. It didnโ€™t, and Iโ€™m glad I didnโ€™t wait any longer as itโ€™s still pouring down with rain โ˜”๏ธ now.

Itโ€™s only a pain for the first minute or two, but after that as you say itโ€™s nice and refreshing. And isnโ€™t it great to have a lovely shower after a nice run in the rain.

Thanks again, and happy running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘
