I just finished a 13.324km running that lasted about 1hh:18mm:0.0ss !

I did not make it to parkrun yesterday, but I did a workout at home instead. I do not feel the need to join a gym, but my son has as he wants to build some muscles. He is a skinny teenager like I was. I has caught me up on height, but not in weight yet. I am losing some weight so we may meet in the middle.

I was a little cooler today, but nice for a run. I started off on my regular loop, but decided to extend it by heading out to the Letchworth parkrun course which I ran part of. Instead of following the road into Stotfold I took the little path through the woods. That is very narrow in places and I had to slow down due to overhanging branches. It is a good thing the nettles have died back.

I was not feeling up to going very quick, but the average pace is okay for a long run. Almost a third of a marathon before breakfast cannot be too bad. I think running three times in a week plus my workout has drained me a bit. I need to see if I can build up my fitness to cope with more exercise.

I only saw one squirrel today and that was a grey one. Yesterday I saw a great spotted woodpecker on the apple tree in our garden. That is a first. Unfortunately I did not manage to get a decent photo of it.

My podcast listening today was No Such Thing As A Fish, Python Bytes and Internet of Things.

I have a few chores to do today, but also want to play around with some computer stuff. There are a couple of projects I have been meaning to do for ages.

Run free!
