@steevc just finished a 5.01km run, that lasted for 27 minutes. This run helped steevc burn 393.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I have not run all week due to having a nasty cold, but I thought I would give parkrun a go anyway. It was a cooler and overcast morning, but dry. I actually put on a thin extra top, but was expecting to take it off for the run. The jog up the road did not actually feel too bad.
Some of the regular crowd were at the start where we were marking the 5th anniversary of this event. I have done 128 of the 241 events, but I did miss the very first one. I have volunteered there about sixty times.
Just before we started a fly bit my shin and drew blood. They tend to be a pest around there. I was not going to try too hard this time as I was not at full strength, but I felt fairly good anyway. I kept up with my friend Jeff for the first lap or so, but then I got ahead. For a while it was feeling quite easy, but the last lap was harder and Jeff managed to pass me again.
We did not finish too far apart and I was a minute slower than last week. I am happy enough considering how I have been lately. I was almost in the top quarter of 200 finishers. I hope to be better next week. There was cake at the finish.
As usual we went for coffee at the camp shop before I wandered home. I jogged most of that too. I hope to get out for some runs this week, but may skip my long Sunday run.
Run free!
