steevc just finished a 7.08km run, that lasted for 46 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 520.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I was at the White Horse for our acoustic jam session. Only six of us, so that meant we each got lots of songs. I had not touched my guitar in weeks as I have been playing the drums, but I managed to play my songs from memory without too many mistakes. I love the variety of music we get with @todayslight playing his originals and the older guys reviving some old tunes. Rod from the Bonzo Dog Band always has something fun.
I knew it was going to be cold overnight, so I put extra lagging on our condensate pipe to prevent it freezing as that messes up the boiler. I also brought the chickens' water in. It is getting a little lighter in the mornings, but the whole country is cold this week.
I still got out for a run. I went with hat, gloves and warm top, but still in shorts. My heating controller said it was -5.5C out there. It was pretty frosty, but I was fine once I got going.
This was not going to be a quick run, but I need to keep up my distance to maintain stamina. I did the usual loop. It is nice to have more light, especially on the long climb up to Fairfield. That road is very straight, so you can see all the way up and it seems to take forever.
It was fairly quiet out there, but there were some dog walkers and people off to work. It did not feel too slippery, but I was wary.
I was glad to get back to our warm house. I am glad to live in a time of central heating. The shower was nice too.
It seems I regained one of the 'local legend' statuses on Strava. I may look at getting some more on my usual routes. I have volunteered to help at parkrun on Saturday and will probably need to wrap up for that. At least the mud may be frozen.
Have a great day and run free.
