Morning Run: parkrun #128 at Henlow Bridge Lakes
@steevc just finished a 8.83km run, that lasted for 69 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 566.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
This was only my fourth time running parkrun this year. I have volunteered a few times and some runs were cancelled. It was a lovely morning with the sunshine, but it did start off pretty cold and frosty. I was hoping that the course would be less slippery as it would be partly frozen, but we did have some rain this week.
I jogged most of the way there and met up with some of the regulars. It was looking better than the last time I ran, but I think it thawed out a bit and having all those runners churns it up a bit. I just went with the pace I could manage and took care where it was slippery. Some people were in road shoes and I think you needed trails really.
I had a few people overtake me, but I just let them go. We each run our own race. My friend Jeff came past on the second lap when I assumed he would already be ahead. I kept him in sight to the end. I am fairly happy with my time considering the conditions. It was around my average for this course, but I aim to improve on that this year.
There were just over 100 there. Some of us went for coffee at the camp site cafe who did some good trade. We were chatting to a guy from Cleethorpes who said he was only there as his train home from London had been messed up so he stayed over and found a convenient parkrun. He has done a lot of different locations. I walked home with one of the ladies. She has lived here all her life and we were talking about how Arlesey has changed.
The sun is still shining, so we will be out in the garden today. The solar panels should be productive.
Run free and enjoy your weekend.

You claim some people are "beyond hope" and that you’re not wasting any more time on us. Yet here your good friend @jacobtothe continues to downvote the truth instead of addressing the systemic abuse we’ve exposed. If you truly cared about making Hive better, you’d stop enabling corruption and start working toward solutions—instead of adding to the problem by silencing dissent.
Let’s be clear: we wonder what drives you. You say you care about Hive, but your actions tell a different story. Instead of fixing the issues we’ve brought to light—like scam farms, coordinated downvotes, and unethical practices—you turn a blind eye and suppress those who speak out. Downvoting the truth doesn’t erase it; it only highlights your inability to confront uncomfortable realities.
It’s telling that Blocktrades has so much to lose if Hive collapses—and even more telling that your friends have openly joked about being the last ones to “turn off the lights” if it all goes south. These statements reveal far more than you realize. The connections between accounts like @themarkymark, BuildaWhale, Blocktrades, and Alpha aren’t just speculation—they’re becoming increasingly obvious to anyone paying attention.
At Bilpcoin, our mission is simple: to expose corruption and fight for accountability. What do you really contribute besides chatting with your old friends and obsessing over young women online? Your priorities seem misplaced when compared to the urgent need for reform on Hive.
We’ve asked you repeatedly to reflect on your actions because this fight is bigger than you think. Every downvote you cast against the truth only adds fuel to the fire, further eroding trust in the ecosystem. Transactions don’t lie, and neither do we. The evidence is there for anyone willing to see it—but will you finally open your eyes, or will you continue clinging to denial?
Sincerely,
The Bilpcoin Team
I love the shadows in the first picture. You are getting stronger everyday

We've been having warmer days and cool nights. Definitely a sign the season is changing. Although like your photo shows, none of the bare trees have started growing leaves again. Which is one of the reasons I like also having evergreen trees on the property.
There's plenty of greenery around the course that is just past the bridge. The owners have been cutting some of it back. As well as running a camp site they have the lakes for fishing. It's good of them to let us run there.
Consistency makes all the huge difference. This attribute of yours is worth emulating.
