steevc just finished a 7.34km run, that lasted for 44 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 537.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
My long weekend was quite tiring even though a lot of it was sitting down at shows and on the train. Our train home had some disruption, but we did not get back much later than expected.
We did manage to catch up with the new Doctor Who episodes which were very silly and fun (space babies!). I have watched the show for most of my life and the tone has varied, but I think with Russell T. Davies back in charge I think it will be fun again.
As we have had issues with rats around the chicken run I was reading up on ways to deter them. It seems that they do not like certain strong smells, so the latest measure was to spread a lot of chopped garlic around there. I shall monitor the situation.
I fed the chickens before setting off on my run. Today I was doing the fast and slow kilometres, The result was similar to previous attempts where there 'sprints' got quicker as I went along. That is partly due to warming up and also to whether I am going up or down a hill.
We had some rain yesterday, but it was dry today. Everything is very lush and green. I did not see too many people today, but the old guys who hike up the hill were out. I also saw a black squirrel and lots of birds. Back at home we have blue tits in one of the nest boxes.
I have offered to help at parkrun on Saturday, but I will fit in some runs around that. I have not done a long one in a few weeks.
Run free!
