Week 5 run 2 complete with little problem. Calm before the storm probably but run 3 is looming and I guess we'll see how that goes. From memory of the first time around, it'll be a mental challenge but maybe the 72 (and a big bit) old legs and joints might present a physical challenge in their own way. We'll see what Friday has to bring πŸ˜€.

Just another point for those rushing towards the magical 5 km goal, I covered 2.3 km on the treadmill for this run including the 5 minutes warm up and warm down. Slow and steady is definitely the way to go. Previous runs covered over 2.5 km. I'll probably try to up the pace a little for week 6, but maybe notπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€.

All in all feeling pretty good with life. Weighed myself this morning and under 120kg for the first time in, well I can't remember - probably 6 years.

And finally, as they used to say at the end of the news on tele, another photo from the garden since the last one seemed to go down well.

Thanks Sue. Might be even slower next week. Forgot to mention that I have a pacemaker clinic review tomorrow and they might have something to say about what I'm doingπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
