Morning Run: Back for (late) breakfast

I just finished a 11.601km running that lasted about 1hh:7mm:0ss !

It was a nice morning today. Dry and a little cool, which suits me for running.

I decided to do a variant on my Sunday loop, but do it clockwise for a change. You see different things when you go the other way. As I headed to Stotfold I decided to go straight through and run up to the Grange where the Letchworth parkrun happens. That does involve a bit of a climb, but I was up for that. I am actually starting to enjoy hills.

I have not done that parkrun for a while and I was going the opposide way on the course up the farm track, which is pretty rough in places. My legs seemed to cope okay. After passing through the recreation ground I had the steep hill to run down. I was watching my footing there and actually was not so quick.

Then I went around Fairfield and down West Drive back to Arlesey. The pace was not too bad overall, but then I was not going for speed. I did manage a couple of 3rd best segment times.

When I got home I found I was locked out. I tend not to take keys for my Sunday run and everyone had gone out without checking if I had any. I let them know and waited around for a while. I could at least have an apple from the tree to keep me going and I did a bit of gardening. Then I sat in the summer house for a while listening to my podcasts as it was a little cool once I stopped running. Breakfast ended up being about 10am. I did really enjoy my hot shower after that.

Since then I have been cutting the hedge and getting pretty warm again. It is a really nice day for late October, but it is feeling like we are heading to winter with the trees changing colour. @tdctunes may be trying to keep summer going, but I quite like the changing of the seasons.

Run free and stay well.
