Weekly virtual 5k

I did it! This is my fourth try at posting 😑 It was more of an obstacle course than a smooth run but it was fun scrambling over fallen trees and roots. It didn’t make for a speedy run but it was interesting. One of my golden retrievers joined me for the last half km ...not sure that was fun or not but it certainly took my mind of tiredness! I’m so proud of myself. I’ve come a long way in the 12 weeks since I started. This fat old lady with dodgy knees can run...who’d have ever thought it! πŸ€£πŸ‘

I think posting it was harder than the run 🀣🀣🀣

How lovely! I love a run through the obstacles in woods and on overgrown footpaths! As a fellow previously dodgy knees runner, isn't it amazing!
