@steevc just finished a 6.76km run, that lasted for 52 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 520.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
The plan today was to meet up with my friend and walk parkrun with him as he is trying to get in shape. Unfortunately he overslept and so I had to go alone and actually run it. I was dressed for that anyway as I was not sure he would do it all this time.
The course is pretty much dried out now, so I did not really need trail shoes. It was less busy than last week when we had a club visiting, but still a decent number. I may have started off a little too quickly as I was keeping up with my friend Jeff who is usually quicker than me. He told me he had to slow down a little to get back to a pace he could sustain. I stayed with him for half a lap and then he pulled ahead. I just had to push on at my pace.
As usual it was hard work and it would have been so easy to stop, but then I do not like to miss a chance to improve. One of the quicker guys was sat on a bench on the first lap and I asked if he was okay. He was just getting over a cold and so needed a break.
I did what I could and hoped for an improvement. Strava showed me as slightly quicker than last week, but the official time had me as 2s slower. I can live with that. I need to do more speed work really.
Afterwards I jogged around to my friend's place. He was up by then and he made me a coffee whilst we had a chat. He says he will do his best to make it another time, but it is up to him.
We have been out shopping today. It is a little cooler than lately and we had a bit of rain. One of the things we bought is a new water butt to serve the new vegetable garden we just made. I may get that installed this weekend.
Run free and enjoy your weekend.
