Morning Run: Child's Play
@steevc just finished a 14.68km run, that lasted for 86 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 1170.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
I was helping out at parkrun again yesterday as they seemed desperate for volunteers. There were over 200 finishers again. I was keen to do a long run today as I am making good progress with my running.
The weather has been a little cooler lately, but it warmed up this morning whilst I was out. I did my loop over to Letchworth this time. That starts with the usual run up to Fairfield. It looks like there was either an organised run or just kids having fun as there were messages all along the path encouraging people to run. I went through to the main road that undulates on the way to Standalone Farm where I got away from the road for a while.
I went straight through towards Norton. On the common there was a race going on that seemed to be mostly kids. I do not keep up with all the local events and do not enter many races. I may do the local 10k again.
Coming out of Norton I went off into Radwell Meadows before rejoining the road back to Stotfold. I managed a personal best through the underpass. In general I was trying to keep under 6min/km and had to speed up at times. This route has some hills that make that hard work.
I did not do any extra diversions as the run was going to be long enough anyway. I felt I had done enough when I got home.
We have been working in the garden again today. It is looking quite good now and we have more things to plant.
Enjoy your Sunday and run free!

14 km running wow this is amazing! I can only run for one kilometer without stopping.
You look young. I'm sure you could do more if you train.
start with one, or walk 500 meters of it, then just try to do a little bit more the next time. you can't go from nothing to everything and if you try to do that, you will fail and then get frustrated and quit. Baby steps is the name of the game here. For example: I really admire @steevc because of his endurance so I started doing 5ks. I couldn't run all of it and would normally walk at least half of it. Here we are months later and I run 5k 3 times a week without stopping and now I am working on 10k runs. Just like with anything, it gets much easier as time goes by!
Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.

Great job on hitting a personal record during your run!

Please tell your friend to stop downvoting my original content thank you 🙏🏾
a 15k would be more than child's play to me. well done!
Can you please tell your friend blocktrades to stop downvoting my original content with his alt accounts themarkymark and buildawhale 🙏🏾
I've been verified by @hivewatchers a long time ago 🙏🏾
Please tell your friend to stop downvoting my original content and leave me alone 🙏🏾
This feels like a racist attack 🙏🏾
You can keep pretending it ain't your friend 😁 that doesn't fool anyone
You can play tough online like your nerdy friend 😂
Please reply to all my messages don't just pick and choose because your friends are watching 😂
Say what you said on Instagram about your friends here 😂
Still not my friend.
I tried talking to @themarkymark a while ago, but he just told me to mute you so I gave up. He's an arsehole, but probably proud of that. I can see he started downvoting you a year ago over 'Reward disagreement'. You have been on the attack ever since and that probably keeps you on his naughty list. Whatever you may think posting the same comment many times each day will be seen as spam by some.
I've seen him forgive others who were less aggressive. He has power here and has no need to fear you. You can see he likes to wind you up with his crappy GIFs and memes. That's why I suggested that you don't let him get to you.
I don't think it's about your 'original content' or whether HW approved you. It's looking like a grudge and you have to find ways to make peace with him. I don't really care if he is @blocktrades, but I doubt it. Whoever it is they don't care about me.
He's muted you and he will probably mute me too, but here's a chance for him to respond. Just saying 'He knows why' gets us nowhere.
My message to him is:
Just stop the petty downvote bollocks for the sake of my mental health and to calm down the situation. You are not doing Hive any good by this. @kgakakillerg dragged me into this despite me having nothing to do with it or any influence on those concerned and I want out.
Yeah I'm an asshole because you can't figure out how to mute people. Sure thing bud. You deserve each other.
I've told you it's worse than that, hence my concerns. The guy just doesn't like me for some reason and so is blaming me. It's not like we are mates. I've met blocktrades at events, but he probably doesn't even remember me.
That's between you two not me. The simple solution is to press mute like a normal person. Instead you want to go on and on about it. But yeah, I'm the asshole here.
Yes I'm an arsehole, but the issue persists. Petty feuds could kill Hive, but what do you care? I really don't want his comments on my posts forever, or replying on my comments elsewhere. It gives a bad impression. We've had enough of that with others. Such is the freedom of Hive.
I'm one of the few that gives a shit to do something about it. If only 1% of the people here gave a shit...
I tried and look what it got me! I stick with Hive because I do have actual friends here. I just don't have the influence that some may imagine.
What it get you, a few messages? Omg, have you checked into a hospital yet? Mute it and move on with your life, why act like a princess?
Your friend blocktrades downvoting my comments again
Tell your mentally ill friend to get help and leave me alone 🙏🏾
https://hive.blog/hive-153850/@kgakakillerg/t1n217
He is trying to bully me and it seems he is also a racist person which is not good for Hive
Please stop pretending themarkymark aka blocktrades Aka buildawhale are owned by different people they are all owned by one person who is blocktrades and his wife's account 😂 alpha it's over everything is out there it's just a matter of time 🙏🏾
What you and your friend need to realize I won't stop until they stop
I will defend myself and j will not allow anyone to bully me online or in life so your friend is playing a losing game
He has already been exposed 😂 why do you do nothing about the buildawhale comment farm 🤔 why do a lot of your whale friend's and other friends self vote on Hive and it's funny how they never get downvoted 🤔
Tell your friend to stop making a fool out of himself and Hive 😂😂😂😂😂
If nobody stops then it goes on forever. It's just a feud now and I doubt it has anything to do with your posts. Marky will automate his downvotes as long as he wants to. It is petty and I asked him to stop. This is why I said you should ignore him as he's muting you anyway.
The buildawhale stuff is something to do with controlling the Hive value and all the rewards are burned, but I don't know much about it. I assume Marky controls that account and blocktrades supports the burning, but Marky can also use it for downvotes.
I think that blocktrades would probably leave you alone if you stopped commenting and mentioning him, but I don't talk to him. People can react to things they find annoying.
You can see what Marky said to me yesterday when I called him an arsehole. I have given up on him as he won't help me in this mess you dragged me into and he thinks I'm an idiot. I don't know what you have seen, but these people are still not my friends. If you have evidence then show it as I know who I talk to.
It is not a feud, I could give a shit about him. It is simply countering abuse, I've been doing HW's job since I got here. He is the largest spammer on Hive, there is no scenario I will allow that to collect rewards as long as I am here.
I have helped you, but you refused to take my advice.
Can confirm. You endlessly arguing with him kind of proves your previous statement. Unless you enjoy it, then by all means.
Well he will continue to pump out the spam if you DV his pennies away. Someone has to stop and I don't really care which of you it is. Otherwise it's stalemate and Hive suffers. You are both stubborn.
Do you consider his posts spam or just the many duplicated comments? Isn't it better to deal with that than just continue?
Muting is not the answer in this case and I wish it were. He just won't believe me.
@kgakakillerg. Here is Marky confirming that we are not friends and that he will continue as long as he considers you to be spamming. Here's a chance for you to resolve it. That is all I can offer you so it's totally your choice.
No, I'm doing what very few have the balls to do. Clean this place up. Instead most want to stand on their soap box and virtual signal or put their fingers in their ears while they extract as much value as they can from this place. If this makes me the asshole I couldn't give a fuck. But honestly, I'm sick and fucking tired of doing it.
You do realize he is behind Blipcoin as well? I know he is your friend and all, but abusers will get downvotes, plain and simple. I will not stop because they cry a lot.
Yes it is, you just can't get over yourself and move on.
I reckon Blipcoin is someone else, but they obviously talk. He thinks you are blocktrades, but it's obvious you are not unless there's some split personality thing going on. Neither of them are my friend.
Life is too short for all this negativity. There are alternatives where you have no power, but why even bother taunting people there? Let them do what they like on other platforms. By all means moderate on Hive as we need someone to deal with abusers. I know that can be a painful job.
I honestly don't want to be involved in this crap, but I have my reasons for not muting. I just want to get on with the positive stuff. I did my share of abuse fighting a while back and it wore me down. You have to be anonymous to do that really.
I’m not being negative I am doing what is best for Hive. Feel free to upvote him if you disagree. I’m sure that will stop him from mentioning you and you can all be friends.
After what he's put me through he can't expect any upvotes from me and you would probably wipe them out anyway. I don't feel the need to be his friend and have tried to avoid him since he obviously never liked me. For some reason he decided I could fix his problems, but we know I can't. It's up to him.
I do what I think is good for Hive, but I accept that it is imperfect. Anyone can post what they want, but have to accept that others may downvote. That's freedom. I've had my share of downvotes, but I didn't go on and on about it.
You do realize you are fueling this more than anything else? You throwing a fit and going on and on about it is exactly what he desires.
Have you ever heard the expression don’t feed the trolls?
Just something to think about.
I'm ready to stop I've tried to speak to him before
I'm not going to have a back and fourth with someone who acts like a child
You keep saying marky as if blocktrades is not behind this account 🤔
😂😂😂😂
It's not a feud it's a blatant abuse of power and he made most of his power from selling votes to spammers 😂😂😂😂
Please take a better look at buildawhale before you say he doesn't make any money from it
He marks a lot of curation rewards with loads of alt accounts
Also a lot of the Hive being made from buildawhale farm is being sent to alpha which is blocktrades wife 😂
It's all on the Blockchain so it's pointless trying to cover up the truth
I did stop commenting and mentioning him but the downvotes did not stop
I'm not going to allow myself to be bullied by a sad old man you must be having a joke
You say all this but they are still your friends and just remember every one talks
I didn't drag you into this it's your friend who is in the wrong
Marky thinks you are bilpcoin/bpcvoter:
I think you probably just talk to him, but hanging out with someone who hates Hive that much does not help your case. You guys are not going to change Hive.
If nobody stops then it never ends, so it's up to you and your friend. I'm sure Marky will carry on, but you can see from his comments that he's no friend of mine. I don't think he is blocktrades, but believe what you like. If you attack the big powers on Hive they will fight back and they will not go away.
Yes you did drag me in as it was nothing to do with me. I can't influence these people so you have to decide if you want this to carry on. Wasting your time talking to me gets you nowhere. I will not be responding to you over the weekend as I need time off for my mental health.
I don't care what he thinks I know them yes but that doesn't mean I'm them that's like me saying you are blocktrades 😂
Please stop it blocktrades clearly had full control over themarkymark buildawhale usainvote ipromote alpha and more accounts
No one is attacking them they are attacking me please get it right
You should probably think twice about hanging around with downvoters and farmers on Hive 😂
Do you think blocktrades is going to change Hive by downvoting people away 😂
As I said before please respond to all my messages as I do to you 🙏🏾
It's quiet rude don't be selective
As I've told you and your friend just stop 🛑 trying to bully me
This feels like a racist attack can you imagine Elon musk doing this on X
Or saying blocktrades is Marky? I'm sure he is not. Neither are my friends and I can't tell them what to do so please don't ignore that fact. I have only left them comments to try and sort out your problems for you and get you off my back. You can see how they respond. Doesn't seem very friendly.
People will think you are my friend as you leave me more comments than anyone else. I cannot keep up with them as I have other things to do. I'm sure you do too. Life is more important than Hive. In general I will not respond to more than one comment each day as you say the same things and I end up repeating myself. The facts have not changed no matter what people may have said about me.
BTW Musk is a racist and he trolls people on his site. That is why I left it.
Blocktrades is in control of @themarkymark @buildawhale @usainvote @ipromote @alpha accounts and more
So please tell your friend to just stop 🛑 downvoting my original content and comments
Your friend is trying to bully me and this also feels like some sort of racist attack 🙏🏾
Life is much more important than Hive please tell your friend that
Stop playing tough online your friend is a old man
He needs to stop making enemies it won't end well
It doesn't matter if you say it isn't him he is supporting themarkymark and buildawhale 💯 so he is part of it even if he is not themarkymark and buildawhale 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who in there right mind would delegate anything to Buildawhale 😂😂😂😂😂
You keep saying I'm saying the same thing 😂😂😂
Please actually read all my comments instead of saying I'm saying the same thing
Musk might be racist as you say but he your friend is definitely more racist than him which is not good and you know it yourself but are just to afraid to speak up
They must have told you to stop speaking to me on Instagram 😂😂😂😂 but that's ok everyone will know the truth
You do realize your friend has been exposed 😂😂😂😂 and there's a big investigation on going
If want to talk let's talk if not please go get some help
I'm not a therapist.
Can please take me off your blacklist as I've done nothing wrong
It's clear something is wrong with you
No one would act the way you act if nothing was wrong
You can't take on everyone blocktrades can you 🤔
Please just leave me alone 🙏🏾
I'm not going to go back and fourth with you as that's what you want
Please take me off the blacklist 🙏🏾
No
Please explain what the problem is @blocktrades
Let's just move on take me off the blacklist and I will help you out 🙏🏾
Don't you think it's time to sort this out I'm not going anywhere so please let's just talk instead of playing these kids game's
Please remove me from your blacklist and stop playing these kids games you are not a child
https://hive.blog/hive-176853/@themarkymark/re-kgakakillerg-t1ugw6
Please explain why you keep downvoting my original content
Blocktrades please stop 🛑
No
Why did you remove this person https://hive.blog/taxes/@vscampbell/re-themarkymark-2025824t19341692z with no issues 🤔
Please take me off your blacklist as I've done nothing wrong
But for some reason you keep downvoting my original content please understand I'm not no kid or nerd and I'm not from no third world country
Can you please tell me how I can get off your blacklist blocktrades
Can you please tell me what I have to do to get off of your blacklist blocktrades
Again you removed someone else RE: Snaps Container // 9/1/2025, 4:12:00 PM so please tell me what I have to do
Can you please reply to the other messages it's clear steevc is your friend blocktrades can you just stop playing this kid's game
All you need to do is take me off your blacklist
My content is 💯 original so what is the problem 🤔 you have problems with my friend and his friends so why are you downvoting me 🧐
Can we please talk like adults
Just sent you a message on Instagram as I keep saying everything is documented
Please tell your friend to stop trying to bully me and intimidate me it won't work
It also feels like some sort of racist attack 🙏🏾
Your friend needs to find a real hobby one where he has to leave the house
Your friend can't build something built on lies that is the reason Hive doesn't grow
You must know right from wrong but you choose to be on the wrong side just like your friends blocktrades who hides behind so many accounts on Hive 😂 themarkymark and buildawhale are owned by blocktrades someone else might run them but they are owned by blocktrades 💯 who in there right mind would support buildawhale 🤔
I've said I won't respond on Insta. I want everything documented on the blockchain.
I am not talking to those guys, but this is what I think is happening:
If those guys 'own Hive' then what chance do you think you have of beating them? I can't help anyway, so why waste so much time on me? I don't see anyone else complaining about what I do.
I will only reply to this comment. It's not 'rude' as I never wanted to hear from you. I avoided you and left you alone for years until you dragged me into your mess. You obviously don't like me, but I never had anything against you. I ignore loads of people on Hive. I know who my friends are.
Ok fair enough don't respond on Instagram I guess you want all your downvoting friend's to see this
@Blocktrades is crazy if he thinks he can get away with what he is doing
I don't take orders from nobody especially someone who has treated me this way
You keep talking as if themarkymark account is someone else it's owned by blocktrades 😂 it might be someone else running the account but it's owner is blocktrades
If themarkymark and buildawhale don't stop I won't stop 🛑 they won't bully me
I'm not scared of downvotes and it's quite stupid to downvote people when they know who you are 😂
It's not about beating them it's about the truth this ain't no game
I can see what you are trying to do and it won't work
You didn't avoid me before did you
You downvoted me with all your friends multiple times
If you think people on Hive are your friends then you have a big problem
Please realize everything comes to light 🙏🏾
Tell your friend to leave me alone and stop trying to bully me it won't work I will always fight back
Please respond to all my messages as I do to you stop being selective it's rude
Don't start trying to be rude to me either just reply to my messages
One more thing you say you are not talking them 😂
How did you get the message from blocktrades 😂
You saw me talk to him:
I am keeping all these conversations on the blockchain so everyone can see what they and you say. I am not talking to them any more as I did what I could and they are not my friends.
You and your friend are seen as spammers and I expect that Marky will DV you as long as you carry on, so it's totally your choice what happens. If you attack then they will probably respond so it never ends. I'm not saying they are right, but you are all adults and can sort it out between you.
Please just tell your friend to go away tell Blocktrades to stop downvoting my original content I've done nothing wrong
I keep telling you this feels like a racist attack 🙏🏾
I'm not the only one who thinks so I speak to a lot of people who have been downvoted by you friend
I know a lot of people on Hive I just don't speak to them all on Hive 😂
You friend is not smart at all if he thinks I only speak to one person from Hive 😂
He saying it's only one person let him think that 😂😂😂😂
If you see what my friend's are putting out it's definitely not spam so much truth is that why your friend is upset
I've not done anything yes I know people who have but they got attacked with downvotes first
So please @steevc do your research before you start talking shit
You friend upvotes his own comments daily to earn curation rewards 🤔 @buildawhale comment is this ok
If they don't stop this will never until Hive is no more
I will keep defending myself
You or your friend don't scare me one bit
When your friend stops downvoting me I'll stop contacting you all together so please tell your friend to leave me alone 🙏🏾
It's clear your friend has mental health issues https://hive.blog/hive-176853/@kgakakillerg/t1w98h
He should not have no power on Hive 🙏🏾
I've asked him again here https://hive.blog/hive-176853/@kgakakillerg/t1w9p8. It's clear he has something going on
Please tell him it's over just stop the downvotes
It's funny he calls me a spammer when he spams everyday with @buildawhale and makes good curation rewards with all those alt accounts 😂 everyone knows what's going on
You are supporting that 🤔
You keep saying me and my friend 😂
You and your friends downvote people and farm Hive 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣
He will keep driving people away until there's no real people left just bots and farmers 😂😂😂
I'm trying to sort it out like adults
But he just acts like a small child I mean I have kids so I shouldn't need to be speaking to a adult like this it's pure comedy 😂
I hope blocktrades is going to downvote all my friends friends 😂
I'm definitely a adult but the person running themarkymark well they seem to be so childish it's unreal
They will learn the hard way 😁
Please tell your friend blocktrades to stop 🛑
Again removing someone from the blacklist now tell him to leave me alone https://hive.blog/hive-124838/@litguru/re-peaksnaps-t1y1qa
If he issues with my friends deal with it 🙏🏾
It's clear whoever is controlling themarkymark and buildawhale account for @blocktrades is mentally ill and the power should be taken away from that person as they are causing more harm than good
The price of Hive will keep dropping
I've made so much money outside of Hive 😂 on other investments it's crazy
Please tell your friend to leave me alone 🙏🏾
It seems like a racist attack he replies to other https://hive.blog/downvotes/@eddiespino/re-themarkymark-t1v6h0 but not black people like me now that is saying something
Please tell your friend blocktrades to leave me alone 🙏🏾
https://hive.blog/hive-176853/@themarkymark/re-kgakakillerg-t1ugw6 this is not ok
I see what you are trying to do please stop 🛑 and tell your friend to stop trying to bully me thank you 🙏🏾
I see you talking about what I've put you through look at what your friend it putting me through and hundreds of others through
That is the reason Hive is stuck and has no future if nothing changes
Your friend has mental health issues it's clear as day maybe you tell him to get some help and take a step Back from Hive
Take a step back from being online so much
I get message's everyday asking why I'm being downvoted
Of course I explain and show them the truth 😂
