Morning Run: Heron about
@steevc just finished a 12.18km run, that lasted for 74 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 971.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I ran at parkrun yesterday and did fairly well. I did no blog that as I want to start posting reviews of events on Hive. I started with Henlow Bridge Lakes.
The weather has been mixed again. Friday was wet, but the the sun came out for parkrun before it rained again last night. This morning was bright and perfect for a run. I have not run up to Langford in a while, so that was my aim today. That means covering some of the parkrun course. As I went past Henlow Grange a heron flew over. That was a little odd having just watched The Boy and The Heron. That is a strange Studio Ghibli animation. Last night we watched Thursday Murder Club. We have both read the books so it was interesting to compare. It is a fun film, but they have made it more fantasy England for the US viewers.
It was fairly quiet past the lakes with a few people out running or walking their dogs. There was a big flock of geese in one of the fields. At Langford I headed across to the fields above Clifton to avoid the roads. I saw a dead muntjac deer on the verge. I assume it was hit by a car.
It is feeling like summer is going as the sun was quite low and some trees are turning. There were a few puddles around that I was able to avoid. At one point a car came down the lane and I ended up on a muddy bit that was a bit slippery, but nothing happened.
I did a longer run last Sunday, but I had not run parkrun the day before and that makes a difference. My legs were tired today and so I did not go as far. I came back along the road that can be a bit noisy. I thought of going over the road bridge, but I took the quieter option of going under it and using the footbridge at the station.
The pace was not too bad today considering I was not trying too hard. It is better than a few months ago so I must be getting stronger.
Have a good week and run free.
I think I need a new phone pouch as mine is rubbing my arm a bit. I have had it for years so it has lasted well. I do wash it now and again as it gets covered in sweat.

12 km is unfathomable to me but you make it sound so lovely with the various things you saw. I miss having venison here - Australians font eat it as much though it's feral here and people shot it. I loved it in England when someone would butcher some roadkill and bring it round for a BBQ! Sorry, that's probably going too far I know 🦌
I don't eat meat, but if people want to eat roadkill then that is up to them. We get a deer in our garden, but we leave it alone.
I have been running for years, so I have built up to doing this. I hardly ran from my mid 20s to my mid 40s, so I was pretty unfit by then.
Indeed the summer is going away, the sun is already less hot now... A good run anyway
It's been super hot here since yesterday, thus I can't even go for a walk. However, they say this will be the last heatwave of summer 2025.
I'm actually looking forward to the autumn for once, would love some cooler weather to run in!
I use a waist/running belt thing to carry my phone/keys in, in case you wanted to try something different? Below is what I use, but there are various brands/options at different price points :-)
I did have a look at those. Just need to get the right size.
Well that should put some heron your chest! When it comes to waterfowl, I always try to live by those immortal words of Frank Sinatra: “Egrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.” 🦩
That song. It swan in a million.
My wife and I visited a new park this weekend for a good walk. Not a run, but it still gave us a good workout! Nice job on your run!
Getting out for a walk is better than nothing. Hope the weather is good. We're getting some rain, but otherwise it's nice.
Weather has been amazing here. Like storybook perfect.
Good to hear. It's been raining hard here today, but I'm working.

I for one is glad that the summer is finally over in the UK. It has been the hottest summer on record and it was getting too much. Haha
We had a few hot days, but I don't think it's been that bad really. A couple of years ago it got to 40C. I am not a big fan of really hot weather.
