Description from Strava:
I was helping out at parkrun yesterday (37th time), so I missed out on a run then. I made up for it today with a longer run.
I had to decide on my route and went for heading over to Letchworth as I have not done that in a while. This route does have a few climbs, but I need the workout. I took it fairly easy as this was not about speed. I want to improve my endurance.
It was quite nice out there and borderline whether I needed the second layer, but I went for that rather than risk a chill. Over at Standalone Farm I saw a load of Cubs out with their parents. I saw some later on too and I assume they were at least walking part of the Greenway. The whole loop is about 13 miles, so I doubt they were doing it all. It is always good to see people out enjoying the countryside.
The stretch through Letchworth and Norton goes up and down a bit, but I could amuse myself by checking out the houses long there. Some are very nice. This is part of the Standalone 10k course and I ought to enter for this year.
I went through Radwell Meadows rather than along the road towards Stotfold and that is where I saw a lot more Cubs. I took the direct route home as I felt it would be far enough for today. I saw a black squirrel by the cycle path to Arlesey.
One of the podcasts I listened to was The Now Show. This has been on the BBC for over 25 years and it was the final episode. We have been to a few recordings of this satirical news show and it is a shame for it to end. That was actually a month ago as the BBC do not put some of their shows out immediately on general podcast feeds as they want you to use their app. That is not viable when I am running as I listen to podcasts from a range of sources.
I have a few jobs to do today, as usual, so I had better get on with those.
Run free!
