steevc just finished a 7.04km run, that lasted for 42 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 501.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
Somehow I enabled an early alarm on my phone and so was awoken at 5:30. I had another 90 minutes until I wanted to be up, so managed to get back to sleep. That does not help when you want to get up and run. It was a little misty out there, but not too cold.
I went with my usual route, so it was the long slog up the hill to Fairfield again. It can look a little spooky up there with the slightly gothic buildings of the old asylum.
The run felt a little better than the last one and on the way back down I was able to find some pace. That resulted in another negative split run where the second half was quicker than the first. This was my first run in a while on this route where I averaged under 6min/km. I go quicker in a race, but on these outings I tend to take it more steadily. I think I can benefit from some quicker outings.
I was listening to the Somewhere On Earth Podcast that carries on what Digital Planet did on the BBC. I will be meeting with the presenters and some listeners later this month to mark a year since Digital Planet ended. I have paid for premium access to the new show, but Pocket Casts seems to lose track of that sometimes. I should be able to access extended episodes and it did work today. I also listened to Late Night Linux. I enjoy the open source technology chat, but the main host is very sceptical of cryptocurrency.
It has brightened up a little since then, so the solar panels are working well, but my son is back from a long weekend and wanted to charge up the car, so we will be drawing some power from the grid. It has been several days since we needed anything significant from there as the battery kept us going. We are still waiting for the feed-in tariff to kick in and pay us for excess power.
Run free!
