Morning Run: A wet one
steevc just finished a 7.08km run, that lasted for 41 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 553.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
If you see these tags on Strava they are used by an app to make a post on Hive where I can earn from what I write.
The forecast said it could rain today. When I went out it seemed dark compared to other recent runs. I could feel some dampness in the air and set off up the road.
As I got to West Drive it started to actually rain, but that does not really bother me. You can see my glasses got wet and that hampered my vision. I needed to watch out for trip hazards. I heard some honking as some geese flew over. It was only a couple, but I have seen many more around here at times.
I trudged up the hill to Fairfield to do a lap there. My legs were feeling tired, so I did not push too hard. On the way back down I tried increasing the pace and managed to keep it up for a while. I did another 'sprint' on the way home. Strava shows this increased my heart rate a bit.
I got splashed by a car along the High Street, but I was already soaked through by then anyway. I was glad of a warm shower when I got back.
parkrun is short of volunteers again, so I may need to help out on Saturday. I want to run, but without volunteers it will not happen at all.
Run free and stay well.

It was a very dark morning, i'll do my very best to get to the run on saturday and walk or stand there, but i'll do my best.
Have you registered on their site? If you actually volunteer then it's an incentive to get out. They always need people and you just have to stand there keeping an eye on things.
!BEER
not yet, you may need to send the link to my other email (i think i emailed you with my new email) that other email was old so i got rid of it, too much spam.

hello dear friend @steevc great to see your running stats and calories burned
Apparently in much of the world it has been raining, I have read several posts that mention it, and while I write the comment, here in the city of Corrientes Argentina it is raining
I don't know if you like it, but I love walking in the rain
have a great day
I don't mind it if it's not too cold. Can just make it hard to see.
that's true, when we wear glasses they usually fog up, and as you mentioned, you have to be especially careful when running
have a great day
It sure was that, wet.. Although I only got some drizzle at 7am.
I too had trouble seeing.. 😁
Did you get the thunder and lightning too? I heard it from a fair distance, I think it was more prominent in the Luton area.
I meant to go to the tip lunchtime.. but thought.. NA... lol
I didn't hear any thunder. Apparently there was some flooding in Bedford this morning. A little brighter now, but I needed the light on in the study to start with. Winter is coming!
!BEER
sure is..

You're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.
From the month of August 2022, the Strava2Hive leader board will be determined by "calories burned"!
This Weeks Leader Board(Top 5):
This is like running to the nearest village, where I currently live (on the Northern Great Plain in Hungary). I ran on the route to the nearest village a few times. I walked it more times. I have not counted how many times. Sometimes I missed the bus (or the bus did not come at all), and I decided to walk/run, because I would have to wait two hours for the next bus.
It's great if you can do that. A lot of people couldn't. I know I'm not super quick, but I don't do bad for my age.
!BEER
I can do it, but I am currently 30 years old. Most people at this age can do it. I mostly walk. I love to walk in the nature. Approximately a decade ago, when I lived in Budapest, I often walked to the top of the nearest mountains.
I'm nearly double your age :) Stay active if you can.

BEER.Nice job on your run! It has been pretty rainy here too. My wife is fighting a killer ear infection right now. She finally got antibiotics yesterday, but she hasn't been getting up to exercise, so I have been taking that as an opportunity to get some extra rest as well.
That sounds nasty. Wishing her all the best. It's getting to that time of year when it's tempting to not go out, but I'll try to keep it up.
Yeah, my fear is I am taking the time off now, then I get it next and I won't be able to work out. I should be taking advantage while I am healthy!
Steve I need to shake a rain stick to pull some rain from your corner of the world to mine.
Hope you get some soon. We had a really dry summer and not getting random showers. There was some local flooding this morning and you don't want that.
Normally no, but the lakebed is drying up so perhaps a little "flooding" would do us good.
Determination in key👍👍
