steevc just finished a 9.11km run, that lasted for 57 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 686.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I have not run two days in a row in a while. I just felt I needed a run in my preparation for the 10k next weekend. I was feeling a bit stiff when I got up, but off I went.
It was quite grey today and windy too with a headwind on the first leg. I just kept plodding along. I did keep running all the way, but the pace is nothing special.
I saw a fair few runners, but I often do just before the race as more people decide they need some training. I just try to keep running all year. I have not been keeping up the distances I would hope for all this year and that accounts at least partly for my lack of pace and stamina. Getting older is a factor too.
I listened to The Rest is Politics and Cryptomaniacs today. I need to see what is going on at Hivefest in Mexico. I was at the last one in Amsterdam, but this was too far to travel. There are usually some announcements of updates and new projects. I have been on this blockchain for over seven years and logged a lot of runs on there that earn me something. They could easily cover the cost of my running in shoes and events.
Since I got back I have been up the road again to do a neighbour's chickens whilst they are away and cleaned out my own chickens. I have a gig with the band this afternoon, so need to get ready for that. It is a fairly busy weekend overall. Yesterday we were in Bedford as my mum celebrated seventy years since she started teaching dancing with some of her former pupils.
Run free!
