steevc just finished a 14.63km run, that lasted for 87 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 1104.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
It is another lovely autumn morning. The colours of the trees are wonderful. I had already planned to head north up to Langford today. After crossing the railway footbridge I ran part of the parkrun course. I did the rest on the way back. This partly made up for not running yesterday as I volunteered to help out.

There were plenty of people fishing there and I saw more at the other lakes further up. Last time I passed there was some building work going on and I see there are new walkways to allow access to more of the lake shore for fishing.

At Langford I ran along by the road before diverting off across the fields. I could see a lady running ahead of me who I soon passed. There is a stretch up there where you are running between open fields and it feels a bit exposed. On a windy day it would not be as much fun, but today it was lovely.

As I ran through Clifton I checked out the big house that has been empty for ages. It look like it is being worked on now. It may be too late for the urban explorers now.

The road through Clifton and Henlow can be a bit busy. I diverted off through an alley that took me to a new housing development and then cut back to the track by Henlow Grange that joined up with the parkrun course.

Then I took the quieter route through Arlesey to home. I wanted to get over 14km, so took a loop around the block at the end.

These longer runs are hard, but I feel I need to go further and build that endurance.

I listened to another episode of the Bjork podcast I blogged about and then there was Richard Herring interviewing Richard Ayoade about his latest book.

Run free!

Hi dear friend!
Appreciate your stamina. It is never easy to cover a distance of 14 kms in 87 minutes especially when we have crossed the milestone of ideal age. During cricket, I get sweaty even in taking tipple runs on 22 yards pitch and you do everything very easily. You are definitely a source of inspiration for the younger generation. Autumn is an ideal season to accelerate our health. Beautiful landscape..
Have a nice day friend...🙏🙏

I feel lucky that I can do this, but it comes from lots of training. If I inspire a few people then that's a bonus.

Yes, I also accept that practice makes a man better. I have seen a child who can fold both( In prayer posture) his hands to the side of the back while a normal person cannot do it is probably a sample of the exercise. I have seen your fitness, I am inspired, others will be too. It is another matter that they have not appeared till now with response.😊😊

You ran across a very beautiful area. Have a good experience in running. How do you measure your calorie burn?

I have a Garmin watch to log my runs. I can get calories from their app or from Strava.

Nice work Steeve! Working it with that time. Lovely pictures as well. We actually have a Clifton here in Cape Town as well. It's one of the "larnie" ( that's local slang for big shot) areas, on the coast with the lost expensive houses. Beautiful, but only the Elite can afford to live there.

I was taking it fairly gently, but it was still hard work. Our Clifton has some nice houses too, especially along that road. If they do up the run-down one it could sell for a lot.

I got home late last night from a long road trip and my wife isn't feeling well, so we slept in today. Plus it is our anniversary, so I figured we deserved it. Awesome job on your run! The weather looks like it was pretty nice. Chilly for this time of year or about normal?

Happy anniversary! I hope Mrs Bozz feels better soon.

I think it's fairly warm for this time of year.
