I just finished a 6.937km running that lasted about 0hh:39mm:50ss !
After last week's back issues I seem to be pretty much okay again now. I headed up the hill to Fairfield again today. It felt fairly cool to start with, but Strava says it was 16C with high humidity. I know some people would consider that cold, but it felt cooler to me.
My legs were coping pretty well today. The first ten minutes or so were a little slow, but then I picked up the pace a bit. It generally takes me a while to get going. I did the clockwise loop of the estate that has a Strava segment, but was not going all out for a quick time. As it turned out I was still quicker than anyone else in my age range according to their stats. Only eight guys and one lady of my age have done the segment, so not a big deal. It is just fun to have all this data to see how you are doing.
I saw a lot of birds today. I heard a bunch of geese flying over near the start. We used to see them daily going somewhere to feed. There was a tiny bird on West Drive that may have been a wren. Plenty of pigeons, blackbirds, doves and a magpie.
The humidity had an effect by the end, but I am happy enough with the run. Around 5:45/km is my usual pace. I would like to try and improve that a bit. I probably need more speed work.
Run free and stay well.

I seem to overheat easily, so don't mind it cold.
I just noticed you are The Cryptorunner. Do you have that on a shirt? I have thought of getting a Hive shirt made with a QR code for signing up. We really need to get Hive better known amongst runners.

Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. (1/3)
Nice job on your run! We have been dealing with really high heat and humidity here. We had some major storms roll through the past two nights, but I think we still have one or two more days until it is finally supposed to break. I don't think I am going to get any workouts in this week. This is my first head cold in a while and it is really wiping me out. It feels smarter to just let my body rest and recover.
Take it easy for a while to recover. We can easily get obsessed about getting our regular workouts. I did miss my running. Being sick sucks.

Yeah, it has been pretty miserable. I got so used to being "untouchable" for a while there...

BEERKING.Nice one Steve, my hubby does a lot of running and cycling so I'm used to having these stats bandied about :-) Do you ever try to create STRAVA pictures with your routes lol.
You mean tracing out a shape? I haven't really tried that. I just tend to follow convenient paths around here. I have seen some great traces that people have done, including the rude ones ;) I guess this one can be a tadpole or a sperm.
