steevc just finished a 7.59km run, that lasted for 44 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 558.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
The weather just keeps on changing. Two days ago we had sunshine and frost. Today it is about 9C and wet. It was not really raining, but felt damp. No need for a second layer or gloves this time.

As is often the case I felt sluggish to begin with. The jog up the road is my warm-up. By the village hall where it looks like they are digging to put in a water pipe there were a loads of papers across the path. They were too wet to see what they might have been and I was not stopping anyway. I carried on to West Drive where I exchanged 'good morning' with various people. The long climb up that very straight road gives me a workout.

I did the clockwise loop around Fairfield, but have not tried doing it quickly in a while. I ought to give that another go some time to try and beat my personal record. I do have to watch out for cars coming out of the estate though when I cross the road.

I took the photo at the highest point of the run, which is about 30m above home. I like these paths that are away from roads and it is a popular route for runners and walkers. From there it is mostly downhill and I picked up some speed then.

It is quite quiet in Arlesey now as the schools are off and the road closure means no through traffic. I saw a couple of other runners out there.

I finished with a loop around my block which involves another little climb, but it mean I finish coming downhill. We have a long weekend for Easter when I will try to fit in some running. My other half may be doing parkrun with me.

Run free.

Mornings are usually best for me too. I am good thanks. Just month of Ramadan for us so doing the fasting thing. I had high hopes of training while fasting but have not found the motivation! Will be back on track from next month hopefully!

It is a mix of surfaces, but this is a nice path to run on even if it has a bit of a hill.

I don't do as much as some other people, but I decided a few years back that I needed to do something to stay healthy. Now I quite enjoy it.

I love how green everything is there. We are still working our way towards that where I live. I was recently down south and things were much greener. We just took a nice vaction and did a fair bit of walking, but it was still a chore getting up for my workout now that I am back to the grind! Nice job on your run!

Our spring may come earlier than yours. I don't know if plants get knocked back when we get another cold spell, but they have had plenty of rain. It was not too bad out there really.

We have some flooding because of all the rain we got the past couple of days. I have seen that the daffodils are finally starting to green up in the woods behind our house. I need to get out to my garden and check my spring garlic.

The weather just keeps on changing

Yep its all over the place at the moment. Here its been cold and damp, and we've had heavy rain showers all day, and then when I finally headed out for the run the sun came out and it was uncomfortably warm by the time I finished... bonkers!

My other half may be doing parkrun with me.

It'd be nice for the two of you to run together, I assume that doesn't happen often? I've tried to get mine involved in running, but she is not interested in the slightest...

Mine is just starting again, so she won't want to go at my pace anyway. Will see how it goes.
