This run helped steevc burn 539.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It is staying cooler here for now. The forecast even showed a chance of snow, but we did not get any. I did my regular loop up the hill to Fairfield. On the way up I passed a small digger that is being used to clear the edges of the road where leaves and other stuff has collected. This road does not get much traffic. A little further up a farrier was shoeing a horse. He had a small forge in the back of his van.
The rest of the run was uneventful. The pace was slightly slower than some recent runs, but it took me a while to get going. I definitely need to warm up to be able to run faster. That works out for parkrun as I jog about 2km to get there. In general I am making progress on my fitness after it slumped whilst I was injured.
Someone has been sawing up the hollow tree I spotted recently, but they do not seem to be taking it away. I also noticed that a lot of the trees have metal tags on them. I assume that someone is managing them.
It looks like parkrun has a full roster of volunteers, so I can run this week.
One of my podcasts was about the reintroduction of beavers to the UK. They went extinct about 400 years ago, but they can be good for the local ecology. I have not heard of any coming here, but I think that otters have been seen in the river. I have seen various wildlife on my runs.
Run free and enjoy nature.
