steevc just finished a 7.19km run, that lasted for 43 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 542.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I finished work for the year yesterday, so I did not need to get up early today. I was out at our last pub music jam of the year last night, so I needed my sleep anyway. It was a good night with a fair few Christmas songs.
As the kids are off school I could use the cyclepath to Stotfold without running into crowds. I had been thinking of doing intervals, so I improvised some fartlek (Swedish for 'fast play'). The first sprint was the length of House Lane. I have not done that at speed for a while and did not quite beat my best time. It was a little cool out and it did rain by the end.
I am not sure I saw any other runners today. Perhaps they are having a lie-in. I ran as far as the surgery and then went to check out the new outdoor gym in the field next to it. They have some different equipment to others I have seen. There are kettle bells on poles, so I lifted one of those a few times. There are also some handles to pull yourself up from various positions. There were pictures to suggest exercises and QR codes that I assume give more details and possibly videos, but I did not try those.
Then I just had to run back with more sprints. I took the long way around the village. The rain started when I was nearly done. I just needed to feed the chickens before I went in for some breakfast.
I may not get to do a Christmas parkrun this year, but I hope to run anyway. Got to burn off the extra calories.
Have a good one.
