I just finished a 7.071km running that lasted about 0hh:42mm:4ss !
It has been pretty hot for us lately reaching 34C at times. The pool has been getting plenty of use. This morning it was somewhat cooler and there was even a breeze as I set off on an intervals run. I was doing the 30-20-10 workout which consists of short sprints of increasing intensity. I did what has become a regular loop to the north of #Arlesey.
As I passed the school I saw a kestrel hovering over the field edge looking for prey. Shortly afterwards a guy came pounding past me, but I was on a rest phase and I do not try to race people anyway. He kept gaining on me even when I ran faster anyway.
The last set of sprints was on the rough tracks around the fields where I have to watch my footing. Some of those tracks have very narrow worn parts that I try to keep to so as to avoid hidden holes. No untoward incidents this time and not many people around.
I had to wait a while to cross the bypass and then headed straight home. As I was having breakfast I could hear thunder and then the rain came. I had to make sure all the windows were shut as it was heavy. We needed some rain as the water butts were getting empty, but I am glad I did not get caught out in it. Some parts of the country have had flooding and a train was derailed in Scotland with several deaths. Hope everyone on Hive is safe.
Run free, stay well and stay safe.
