Morning Run: Pump it up
steevc just finished a 5.53km run, that lasted for 33 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 415.0 calories.
Description from Strava: project
The weather has kept changing this week. Yesterday had rain, but this morning was not looking too bad. It was a little warmer too. I was out at our pub jam session last night with some fellow Hivers. I do like a beer, but it can make for a less than optimal night's sleep and so I was not feeling at my best. I headed out anyway and jogged fairly slowly up to West Drive.
I have not done my hill intervals for a while, so was planning to do them even if I felt like I would not be quick. They were actually not too bad really. Some were under the 'magic' 5min/km, which is good for me on an uphill sprint. I walked a little on the way back each time, but then intervals are partly about varying your heart rate and you need some recovery time.
I was feeling better as I jogged home. A run often lifts my mood. Recently we gained a bicycle maintenance point by the village hall. I have not seen anyone use it yet. Outside the lower school a couple of people were putting out some flags. I did not see what they said, but it may be related to recent industrial action. Our government seems more concerned with helping the rich than with paying most people enough to get by in the face of rising costs.
Now I have had breakfast, a shower and coffee (in that order) I feel ready to get on with my day.
Run free!

Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.

there the weather keep on getting hotter and hotter, we have 31 degree partly sunny weather atm.
About 10C here and just right for me when I'm running really.
I like the look of the bike maintenance thing. Can you prop it upright on that stand?
I think you can hang the bike off the top bit to make it easier to work on the wheels. Various tools hanging off it. I suspect salesmen travel the country trying to persuade councils to part with some money, but if you are on a long ride and need this then it would be welcome. I wonder if they get mapped somewhere.
They should get mapped as it would be dashed handy being a cyclist to have something like that that you knew the whereabouts of. I had never even heard of such a thing.
Makes a change from councils spending their money on utter twaddle
Just near that is a 'village pump' they got for the millennium. I expect that's another salesman flogging tat. It's not even where the original pump was and serves no purpose. Then need to spend more on fixing all the potholes.
Is it the same down your way as it is up here. I swear that some roads are becoming un-driveable up here. There is one I now avoid even though it adds loads to my travelling time because the road is so bad. I hear more people getting bust tyres now from potholes too. I am hoping that in April with the resetting of budgets they might put a bit of work into it
You probably get it worse, but some roads here go bad and people had punctures. My son had one the other week. In the dark you just can't see the holes. You would think by now they would know how to makes roads that last.
That is kind of cool the thing for bikes. So it has air and some of the common wrenches you might need? That is pretty neat. Nice job on your run!
I have seen something like this in other places. I got a puncture on an ebike a while back and those things are heavy when you have to push them. Changing the rear tube is a pain anyway. I didn't have a spare with me.
Very interesting. I have heard that about eBikes.
I'm the same when I drink beer. I can expect a terrible sleep. I don't understand why it's beer specifically though because wine doesn't have the same effect.
I didn't even drink that much, but it just goes through me. At least I feel fine now and it was a good night out.
Well the latter part of that is good
