This run helped steevc burn 494.0 calories. @steevc just finished a 6.96km run, that lasted for 41 minutes.


Description from Strava:
We are getting a nice run of sunny days for now. It will be freezing first thing, but soon warms up and that is great for my solar panels. So it was still frosty when I went out and I decided to do my newish loop out to Stotfold.

The sun was in my eyes along the new road until I reached the woods. I knew I would encounter a few kids going to school, but the paths were not too crowded. I really do not know or care too much what they think of this old man out running, but I do not want to be dodging crowds.

After the underpass I went off around the fields. That can be muddy, but it was all still frozen hard. That does mean it can be very uneven, but I had no issues. I tool the long way back to stretch out the distance to almost 7km and the pace was not bad. I even managed a personal record on one segment. I hope to make more progress on that this year.

Podcast listening included Infinite Monkey Cage on the science of altruism. That is something the world needs more of, at personal and global levels.

I had a peek at some of the ongoing building work around here. We will see lots of new houses soon. From my study I can see a big boring machine that may be used for foundations. I think it can all be a bit noisy for those who live nearby.

Run free and enjoy the sun.

Looks like a beautiful place to run. I like the green rolling hills. Even if they aren't going to stay that way. I did a mile myself on the treadmill this morning.

We are lucky to have all this countryside, but some is being built on.

BTW I saw your president wants to chop down the forests. We know he doesn't care about anything but money, so good luck with that.

Yeah, between that and the oil pipelines it will be interesting. Just call us dystopia central.

I just hope people are angry about it.

What a beautiful day & an elegant post, @steevc!

Whatever I started to “get” about @Strava2Hive I’ve forgotten.

Got a tip for me, what I can read to give it another go?

I think the FAQ tells you how to set it up. It's been a while, but I think you have to authorise it in Strava. You can log various types of activity and I just find it convenient.

The weather is lovely at the moment after some grey times.

Well done sir, I wish I can run that distance.

Did you ever have problems with the solar panels? My neighbor in Zumberak has them quite often :(

I love winter but the second best part apart from the beautiful white scenery is the winter sun🫣.

They’re building another building right across me too, it makes me so sad that they’re getting rid of the greenery 😔
