This run helped steevc burn 539.0 calories.
@steevc just finished a 7.29km run, that lasted for 44 minutes.
Description from Strava:
It is staying cooler here for now. The forecast even showed a chance of snow, but we did not get any. I did my regular loop up the hill to Fairfield. On the way up I passed a small digger that is being used to clear the edges of the road where leaves and other stuff has collected. This road does not get much traffic. A little further up a farrier was shoeing a horse. He had a small forge in the back of his van.
The rest of the run was uneventful. The pace was slightly slower than some recent runs, but it took me a while to get going. I definitely need to warm up to be able to run faster. That works out for parkrun as I jog about 2km to get there. In general I am making progress on my fitness after it slumped whilst I was injured.
Someone has been sawing up the hollow tree I spotted recently, but they do not seem to be taking it away. I also noticed that a lot of the trees have metal tags on them. I assume that someone is managing them.
It looks like parkrun has a full roster of volunteers, so I can run this week.
One of my podcasts was about the reintroduction of beavers to the UK. They went extinct about 400 years ago, but they can be good for the local ecology. I have not heard of any coming here, but I think that otters have been seen in the river. I have seen various wildlife on my runs.
Run free and enjoy nature.

Running itself is very good for the body but gotta love those little things you notice along the way, the random diggers, tree tags, surprise blacksmith moments lol. The Beavers are making a comeback. I consider Beavers as the engineers amongst animals haha
I consider running to also be about exploring. I've been all around the local countryside that I might not see otherwise. On my regular routes I see the changes over the year. Good for my state of mind.
very good for your state of mind indeed. All this in a days activities then there's your drums skills too.
Beavers have been reintroduced to the River Otter in Devon.
And otters on the River Beaver? This is the podcast.
Not that I know of, but you never know. BYW I couldn't fing the podcast.
Do you take any supplement after a run, maybe raw egg or green leave to help speed up the progress of the run, for instance gym folks take supplements to boost their muscles just wondering if its necessary ?
Not really. I have some granola and orange juice for breakfast. I have been taking daily multivitamins for a while too. I don't see the point in raw eggs. I made an omelette for dinner last night, so that was my egg quota.
ohhh so you take just light food or a mixture of heavy and light?
I honestly don't think that much about what I eat :)
hmmmm ohhk got it
Love how your run turned into an adventure! From clearing the roads to spotting wildlife, it sounds like a perfect blend of fitness and nature.
Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.
