Morning Run: Warming up

@steevc just finished a 6.08km run, that lasted for 36 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 436.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
When I woke up I was not thinking that I should be running, but then realised that I needed to get out there. I am helping at parkrun tomorrow (for the 50th time!) and so will not run then. It is distinctly warmer than my run on Wednesday, but then it rained a little.

I used to do the run to Stotfold a lot, but have tended to avoid it during the week as there can be a lot of kids going to school. It is half term, so they would not be around this week. I went via the new road and Etonbury woods. It was not too muddy there, but it has been damp lately.

I started off fairly gently, but picked up the pace a bit. This route is fairly flat with not too many roads to cross. I have definitely been improving so far this year and it is good to be running under that 6min/km 'barrier'. I know others will be much quicker, but this is what I can do for now.

It was fairly quiet out there, but I saw a lady from parkrun and the guy who empties all the bins. He always says 'Hello me old mate' even though we do not really know each other.

I am feeling the effects of recent runs for a while afterwards, but I think that shows that I was trying hard. I just tend to allow at least a day of recovery. Strava has a tool to compare how you are doing with previous periods. I am doing a fair bit less distance than previous years, but I hope to improve on that too. I want to get back to 30km per week at least.

Run free and stay well.
