I managed 5.3k this morning. Coming down my block, doggo sees a cat in a front yard, pulls on lead. This causes me to miss a lifted section footpath and trip....cue me, desperately trying to not fall flat on my face running cartoon style with doggo chasing cat.... Managed to dodge the ground after about 10 or so momentum filled close calls, stand up, get doggo back (still on lead) - and of course from across the street a tradie starts chuckling and saying jeez that was real close there bud, you nearly bought the farm for about 15m...me, huffing and puffing, and adrenaline pumping can only manage to half yell CAT..... Then the old man back kicked in, and I limped off. Good times.
