Morning Run: Far and away
steevc just finished a 16.5km run, that lasted for 97 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 1253.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It was a day for a longer run, especially after not running yesterday when I helped scan finishers at parkrun. I did the lap around RAF Henlow, which I have not done many times before. That resulted in a few segment best times on Strava.
The base does not have any active planes, but there is one on display. They have a grass airstrip that is used for small planes and gliders. It was originally used in the first world war.
It was a nice morning for running. Everything has been drying out a little. It was overcast and not too cold. I was feeling pretty strong and the pace was not bad. Heading towards Shefford there is a long hill, but it did not feel hard. I took the back roads through Clifton and into Henlow. It was fairly quiet, but I did see a few other runners.
Some of the last part was along a bit of the parkrun course, but I was going a bit slower than race speed today. I walked over the railway footbridge before jogging home to clock up over 16km. I added a load of walking to that today with a trip to Ikea. We have not been in a while and it was really busy. Of course we spent more money than expected.
I hope you had a good weekend.

Today you have running very long again and looking at your face does not even feel tired. I'm also trying to boost my stamina and do as much as possible.
I do special face exercises :)
Oh that's good.
LOL :D
16.5 km! That's quite a good amount. Great job!
I'm not very knowledgeable about planes, but I do love history. Dating from WW1... that would be interesting to walk around and look at.
That's amazing. 16km is not easy to do for a lazy person like me. can I ask how old are you ?
Well I'm nearer 60 than 50 :) I started running about 10 years ago. I was lazy, but decided I needed to be fitter.
This habit has kept you younger and active.
