Morning Run: parkrun 107
steevc just finished a 8.81km run, that lasted for 59 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 651.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I was out for a work Christmas meal yesterday, but I was not drinking too much and did not get home late. The meal was near Farringdon station and I noticed that there was a music shop nearby, so I popped in there first. Unfortunately that one is closing down soon. I did not buy anything anyway. The meal was nice. I did stay up fairly late watching the Musora music school live Christmas show when various prizes were on offer. They are in Canada, so it was late for us in the UK and I did not see the end.
I was up in time for parkrun today. The weather was not looking too bad. Relatively warm and not raining. I just went with shorts and t-shirt plus my trail shoes. With recent weather I knew it would be muddy and I was right. The course was quite slippery and so some care was needed. That means slowing down a little, but with my current aches that is fine with me.
I took it steadily and got to see the fast people zooming off. An older guy overtook me after a lap and then I passed a young lady a little later, but I was mostly running alone. On the last lap I gave an extra push and got my best time in a the last couple of months. Considering the conditions and the state of my body I am happy with that.
The painting is on a pillar of the big bridge over the railway. It has been there for a while. It looks a bit like a Banksy, but the artist is Banga, whoever that may be.
I jogged most of the way home. I have some chores to do this weekend, including making a base for our solar battery. That will involve mixing some concrete.
Have a great weekend and run free.

Nice run! I sure wish my knees could take that kind of punishment. Way to go!
These types of run is actually cool and good for the health because it helps to burn calories away from the body
The overtaking was funny, lol
An older guy overtook you and you overtook my gender😂
Plenty of older guys and women are quicker than me
A solar battery. One of those big wall units?There still very expensive out here. Solar panels on the roof top. pumping back I to the grid are very popular out here with all our sun shine but not many batteries connected to them. Congratulations on a faster parkrun time in the mud.

That brought a smile to my face. Such a whimsical vibe. It sort of reminds me of the Morton's Salt logo. Here is an overview of their logo from 2014 when they celebrated 100 years.

I didn't know the Morton logo, but I don't know what inspired this art either.
I need to seriously get some walking in. My mind is all ready to do it, till it isn't :D
That is a beautiful graffiti. Wish the world was more about raining hearts :)
The hardest part is getting out the door. I use it as podcast listening time. Hope things are good with you.
True. Also I seem to be living a lot in my mind since the pandemic. Tried to shake out of it the whole year but was not in the best frame to do it. Hopefully 2024 will be the charm :)
It is very good for the health of all of us if the cold does not disturb our routine.
