Running the streets

I just finished a 6.101km running that lasted about 0hh:37mm:8ss !

I have some time off this week and aim to do a bit more running. I saw a Strava club where people were attempting to run every street in my home town of Bedford. I am going to try to do the same in Arlesey. It is not a huge place, but there are lots of new estates off the main street. I am fairly central, so I can go either north or south, but it is a fair way to the extremes of town. I really need to print off a map to colour in.

My legs were still stiff this morning and it is cold again, but I managed to run all the way. Not a spectacular pace, but then I was doing a lot of doubling back. I think there may be some streets I have never been down, but I did explore some years ago when I was adding to Open Street Map.

I am already getting close to 100km for this year. I have rarely managed that in a month before, but the extra runs I am doing should make it more frequent. I will keep mixing up my runs with some intervals to improve my speed.

Looks like you went a bit slower this time! Remember that it's important to take some rest days, and do some rehab / prehab / strength and conditioning training too! If you weren't intending to go slower, take a moment to listen to your body, and see if you need something. Check in with yourself!

Nice job! I took a nice walk outside with my wife this weekend. It was a bit chilly, but we managed. It ended up being about 2.5 miles and I tried to keep us on sidewalks as much as possible.

Our cold spell may not last long. I think it can do some good in killing off some garden pests. Just have to be careful of slipping. I know you guys are more prepared for extreme conditions, but we are never quite ready.

This would have been useful when I was doing Open Street Map. Back then I had an Acer PDA with GPS, but it was not as convenient. Now most places are mapped there anyway.
