steevc just finished a 5.38km run, that lasted for 33 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 406.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I am trying to get back into more runs each week. That means doing some from work where we have changing rooms and showers. Stevenage is blessed with lots of cycle paths, but some may not know that you can duck under the A1(M) motorway and soon be in countryside. I had not been over there in a long while.
Just next to the motorway is a traveller caravan site. The track past that is a bit of a mess with various rubbish and the brambles have not been trimmed lately. Across the field past that I could see a white SUV that was parked at an odd angle. When I got closer I could see that it was in a ditch with all the windows smashed. I will not speculate on how it got there. I tried to take a photo, but my phone seems to have lost it.
There are various loops over the fields, but I did not want to go too far. The first part of the run was largely uphill and with a headwind, but the rest was not too bad. There are some nice trails through the woods. I only saw a few people around there. That does mean you need to be careful when running alone as you might not be found for a while if you fall.
There is a small sawmill in the woods that seems to still be in use. I assume they use the local trees, but they were not working today.
I was wearing some old Mizuno shoes that I keep in my desk drawer so I do not need to carry them in on the train. My bag was heavy enough with kit, lunch and laptop.
Once back in the industrial estate I took an extra loop to make it up past 5km. That was enough for today as I needed to get back to work.
I will aim to do more runs from work so that I am doing 3 or 4 over the week rather than 2 or 3. I would hope to get back to around 30km over those.
Run free and get on Hive!
