steevc@steevc just finished a 10.02km run, that lasted for 78 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 630.0 calories.


Description from Strava:
I thought we were through the hot period, but it may break tomorrow. It was warm when I headed off to the lakes for parkrun. I was logging the whole outing for the work challenge.

Some of my regular friends were there, but also bassist/triathlete Jon with his wife and daughter. I had not seen him there in a while, but he has had injuries.

I may have started a little quick, but I was feeling good and so just went with it. Plenty of people passed me, but I do not worry about what they are doing. It is nice that the course has some shade so it was a little cooler there. By half way I was really feeling it and slowed down a bit, but just tried to keep going.

I finished 76 of 222 in 27:14, which is my best time this year at Henlow. I am quite happy with that.

I went for coffee at the camp shop with a few people. There is some shade to sit outside there and cool off a little. I walked home with Linda after she had sorted the finish tokens and I helped put the gear away. I decided to do an extra lap of our block to stretch the outing over 10km and so I jogged that. I needed a little while to cool down before my shower, but am feeling good.

I may be in the pool later today. The weather is due to turn tomorrow so I will aim to do a long run in the morning and then some gardening as everything is growing like mad.

Have a great weekend and run free!
