Keeping Going Part 5 ( slowly) 🐌 🐌 🐌

[hamit]

Well we are up to part 5 and it only seems yesterday that I was turned inside out by a nasy Bug and dropped 14 pound. This morning I went out for a run determined to do a 5k. Mainly after being ill 5k has been my goal other than that it would help my mental wellbeing. I Know that at 76 I have to get back in the saddle so off I went. The result was a sub 40, would have liked a sub 35 but I should be grateful, the weight training has helped a lot. So eating well and stacking in the protein, weight training and gentle runs has put a 76 year old back in the 5k frame in a few weeks. I hope the Running gods smile on my efforts for the rest of the year and we might get up to Part 99.
