The Pap maybe back

Today I got out and managed my first non stop 5k for weeks. So pleased it was a struggle but we got there in a pretty good time as well. I hope everyone is still healthy and running. I did a longer post than this but the app sent it to the wilderness.

Some of my best ever posts are in the ether somewhere 🤣

Very nice time there, especially for a struggle of a run.

Lovely to have you back with us P17! Sorry to see that you’ve struggled with health issues of late but any walking or running you can do I’m sure will help both body and mind!
