Morning Run: parkrun 95

steevc just finished a 8.92km run, that lasted for 88 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 498.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
It has turned a little cooler since last week, but it still felt quite humid. I walked up to the start with my better half who was also running. There were a few people there from Vegan Runners. I would not qualify for that as I eat dairy and fish, but not meat.

Just as we were about to start the rain came on. It was actually quite refreshing. The course is fairly sheltered and it only lasted about ten minutes. It was quite busy off the start until people spread out.

My hip is still niggling me. I was due to see the physio again yesterday, but that has been postponed until the week after next. I will keep massaging it and doing more stretches.

The run never feels easy and I just tried to keep going. A young lad running with his dad was crying on the last lap, but did not want to walk. I passed them and a couple of others.

My time was not as good as I hoped and I was just out of the top third. We walked back with a guy who lives at the far end of Arlesey. I had not talked to him before, but he said he sometimes does the run after his night shift.

The road was closed again with lots of machines out digging it up and laying tarmac. It means we have to take a long way around to go north. I think some people coming to parkrun had not anticipated the diversion.

I will look to volunteer again soon as I like to do it at least once each month.

Run free!
