Morning Run: Fire!
steevc just finished a 11.55km run, that lasted for 75 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 927.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
This was nearly a very short run. My back has been playing up and as I started it felt like I could barely run, but I persisted and it improved. It was not quick, but at least I was out. I was timekeeping at parkrun yesterday, so I did not get a run there.
It was cool out there, but sunny and I soon warmed up. I did the usual loop. I passed a lady on a horse up at Fairfield and then a guy pushing a baby buggy overtook me. He was running in case you wondered. There was a lady with a double buggy at parkrun.
I saw two separate squirrel cross roads today. Perhaps they are busy preparing for winter.
I felt able to keep going, so I took the long way around Stotfold. Coming back through Arlesey I saw a lot of smoke from behind the church. When I got to Carters Way I could see the fire. It was just about possible to see a car amongst the flames. There were some small explosions, so I was staying well away from it. I know @todayslight was there as he messaged me and he lives around the corner. The fire engine turned up just after I left the scene.
The rest of the run home was uneventful. I fed the chickens when I got back. Their feeder is always empty in the morning as I think the rats are eating the food. I moved it up higher, but the rat I saw yesterday was pretty big, so it can probably still reach.
There is an open mic in Hitchin this evening that I am going to. I have a few chores to do before then.
Enjoy your Sunday and run free.

Sorry that the rest of the run was not eventful.
I just hope that you enjoy the other runs
I don't want to see cars on fire!
Kudos on burning 927 calories! While I don't always count calories, it's motivating to see the numbers and know that the effort is paying off @steevc
Cheers. Strava counts the calories for me, but that was not the only thing burning today! I do like all the stats they give me, but I am not running at my best right now. My old body is struggling a bit :)
Was the double buggy a tandem or a twin one, side by side? They can take up space in narrow alley ways.
A fire? What was it?
It was a side by side buggy.
As I said it was a car on fire. There can't have been much left of it.
Right, it was just about possible I did not see a car amongst the words.. lol
What is the smoke coming from the front? Is there a fire in the front?
There was no smoke near me, but I could smell the fire.
Ok.
