Yesterday we were clearing the garden of a house that involved cutting up a bouncy castle as well as getting rid of lots of other junk. After several hours of that I was tired, dirty and suffering from some nettle stings. So I was not feeling at my best this morning. I need time to recover, but I needed to run today.
This was by the fields to the north of Arlesey. Those houses were not there when we moved here some years ago.
It is not a working day, so I had time for a longer run. I made it a variant of my usual loop around Fairfield and Stotfold. I was listening to podcasts, including Cryptomaniacs, but my AfterShokz bone conduction headphones leave my ears clear so I could hear all the birdsong going on. I could not identify them, but there seemed to be a variety of species singing.
I managed to keep up a reasonable pace, but by 10km I was tiring and had a brief walk whilst I took a photo. It is just three weeks to my half marathon and I think I will be okay. I will rest on a few days before the race, but I am running it for fun.
Today was a good run. I have done a load more steps as we went out shopping. I am away for work this week, but will take my running gear and try for a run. It is always nice to run somewhere different.
Run free and stay well.
