I just finished a 10.264km running that lasted about 0hh:59mm:15.0ss !

Before I write about the run I want to thank everyone who has stepped in to help me out after I was maliciously downvoted by a certain rogue whale. I do not rely on my earnings here, but I will try to use then to help others. I do not self-vote or buy votes for Steem. It all gets powered up.

After yesterday's parkrun I was feeling a bit drained, but was determined to do my usual Sunday run. It was a bit wet out, but only rained for a few minutes. It was fairly quiet out with a few other runners and the regular dog walkers. I did the usual loop which is mostly on tarmac with some short stretches of grass/mud. My pace was down a lot on the 10k race last weekend, but that is the difference of resting on the days before and having other runners to push me along.

I just tried to not slow down too much. A 5:40/km pace is pretty comfortable for me these days. This was an opportunity to get some distance in my legs without too much strain. I will get back to interval runs during the week. I may even look at adding an extra run into my routine to see what difference that makes. Over the winter I would like to improve my parkrun times.

I saw three black squirrels today. I got fairly close to one, but there would not have been time to get a photo. I need to get out with me better camera to snap them. Podcasts included The News Quiz, Guardian Science and Home Assistant.

I had half a banana before I went out and finished it with some cereal on my return before showering. I have some chores to do today. It is not much of a day for going out.

Run free!
