Morning Run - The usual

almost 3 years ago

I just finished a 6.895km running that lasted about 0hh:39mm:58ss !

It is staying cool this week, which suits me fine, apart from making a dip in the pool less attractive. It rained again yesterday, so everything is wet, but it has not rained yet today.

I did my usual run around Fairfield. Some of my reasons for using this route are:

It avoids most of the schoolkids
It is largely away from roads
It has a bit of hill climbing to build strength

The only real variation I use is the direction I run around the estate. Today it was clockwise.

I saw one squirrel up there, but not many runners. I pushed a bit on the loop and managed my second best time for the segment. I am still fastest in my age band on Strava, but then I am at the younger end. I would like to beat my record there, but it will need a special effort and a lack of traffic on the one road I have to cross.

I felt pretty good on this run overall. The average pace was nothing special, but at least I am staying around the sort of pace I would hope for. I want to do a half marathon this weekend as the Greenway race is cancelled and so may save my legs for that. I will try to get out for some walks to get some exercise.

Run free and stay well.

Avoids most of the school kids.

Great reason for a route!

Shame the half is cancelled, guess it's still on the DIY half marathon!

Round by the middle school the path gets clogged with kids, but it's a nice route during the holidays. I just can't get up early enough during the week to miss all the kids.

I did my own half when it was cancelled last year and kept monthly ones going for a while. It's been a while since I ran that far.

It felt good to get back into my routine this morning. We walked a lot while we were on vacation, but we didn't really do much heavy activity. The kids are still in school over there? We have been out for a while but some kids are in summer school.

I think kids in Scotland may finish this week, but down here they have a little longer. My kids are done with school anyway.
