Description from Strava:
I was marshalling at parkrun yesterday. The weather was not too bad then as some early rain did not last. Over a hundred runners turned out. I was talking to a lady who was cheering on her 82 year old father-in-law. After lunch we went to the Broadway cinema in Letchworth to see Wicked: For Good. We saw the first part there too. It is an impressive film with some clever scenes and great singing. It was filmed not too far from here.
I could hear the rain early this morning and so was wondering if I would go out. When I got up it seemed to have stopped, but then started again so I put on my (sort of) waterproof jacket and my Hive hat. I also wore my brand new Allbirds shoes. I got these in the sale and they are also supposed to be waterproof.
I did a longer version of my standard Sunday loop. I have been further recently, but I have had a cold and so am not pushing myself too hard for now. The rain really started as I headed up to Fairfield and lasted for a while. Having a dry head makes it bearable and it helps not to have wet glasses.
Of course there were lots of puddles and I tried to avoid those as much as possible. I also tried to avoid getting splashed by passing cars. My socks were a little damp at the end, but I did not get too cold. As I ran back towards Arlesey there was a rainbow.
The overall pace was not too bad considering the conditions. I have been doing a little extra for our Move-ember challenge and have logged running or walking every day this week. That has meant taking some walks just to get something for the day as I might not normally go out when working from home.
Since I got back the sun has come out. That is good as I needed to do a couple of outside jobs. We can also generate some solar power. I do like seeing how many other people have panels. If every home had some it would make a huge difference as people were saving money.
Have a good week and run free!
