Lunch Run: Climb every mountain
steevc just finished a 5.63km run, that lasted for 31 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 440.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I had to make it a quick one today as I had a meeting after lunch. I did the hill up to Fairlands Valley, but in the opposite direction around the loop to last time. However I do it I have to do that big climb. It went pretty well and the weather was kind to me. Not cold and blue skies. I was in another meeting a couple of hours later watching it pour down outside.
I see a few others go running from work, but they are not people I know and so I run alone. I saw a group of runners on the way back, but I did not recognise them. There are lots of companies based around there.
Podcast listening was No Such Thing As A Fish from the QI Elves who were also on Richard Herring's show that was next up. I have heard that Richard runs in the Stevenage parkrun that my run overlapped with, but I have not done it in a while. We saw his live show a few years ago.
On the way back I diverted past the police and railway stations for a change. I still end up climbing that final hill. I try to make these runs fairly brisk, but not quite as fast as I would aim for at parkrun. With the hills I get a good workout anyway.
Oh, and the train this morning was packed. I think the previous ones were cancelled, so there was a backlog of passengers. These trains only run every half hour, so I did not want to wait for the next one. I hope nobody was spreading any germs. Hardly anyone wears a mask now, but COVID and other bugs are out there. I have had a fourth COVID jab and one for flu. Luckily I had no side effects.
Run free and stay well.

This Weeks Leader Board(Top 5):
I worked out inside today. It was a little too cold out for us to take a walk. We have been trying to get out after work the past week so that our dog can get some exercise before Winter full gets here.
I got warm even in shorts. It's a mild November so far here. That is worrying some people as it's not normal. It messes up nature.
!BEER
I think we are supposed to hit the 70's again tomorrow. It has been a rollercoaster over here to some degeree. I think they are talking snow on the weekend maybe!

BEER.Hey @bozz, here is a little bit of
BEERfrom @steevc for you. Enjoy it!Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the
BEERKING.So great that you are still running and using the tech to track and chronicle it!
I started running at the right time to exploit this tech although it was initially on a phone with GPS that could be a bit iffy. I like having lots of stats, but in the end you have to put the work in. I still think I can be quicker even though age is catching up with me. I see older guys at parkrun who easily beat me.
