This run helped steevc burn 1110.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
Update: I changed the post title as it may seen insensitive given the horrific events in South Korea. Thoughts with those who have suffered there.
I did not run yesterday due to marshalling at parkrun, so needed to make up for it today. We got an extra hour in bed thanks to the clocks going back, but it was still hard to get up. As I headed out things were a bit damp and then it rained whilst I was running.
I was trudging through a lot of leaves today and hoping I did not slip. Nearest I came was when I mis-judged a kerb. I went up through Fairfield. I saw a fair few Halloween displays. Some people really go for it. The rain was coming down, but not too heavily.
Then I headed up the road towards Standalone Farm. I did a fair bit of the 10k course I raced recently, but doing it alone is different. My legs were feeling a bit stiff and heavy today, but I kept going. I took a selfie by what I believe was the first all concrete house in the UK. Lots of interesting houses around Letchworth, but then it is expensive around there.
I ran out through Norton towards Stotfold. I was staying off the muddy trails today. I am just not a fan of mud and it can be slippery. For the race I was doing all this on the road itself, but I had to watch out for traffic today.
I was tiring as I came through Stotfold, but still had a few km to go. I was not going to add any extra distance today. I saw a few other runners out and we waved to each other even though there was nobody I knew.
As I came into Arlesey there was a broken pumpkin scattered across the path. Some idiot had to spoil the fun.
I had had enough by the time I got home. Breakfast and a shower were very welcome. My Allbirds shoes are fairly waterproof, but my socks were wet anyway.
Podcast listening included BBC Inside Science, Chasing Tone (Wampler guitar show), BBC News Quiz and Cryptomaniacs (from some Hive guys). I get most BBC shows a month late since they gave preference to their own app, but I listen to shows from a variety of sources using Pocket Casts.
