Morning Run: Chopper!

steevc just finished a 6.98km run, that lasted for 40 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 500.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
It was slightly damp out there, but not actually raining. I did the usual loop. I am not too bothered about varying my route for now and this gives me some idea of whether I am making progress.

As I jogged up the High Street I could hear a low throbbing and then a Chinook helicopter came over fairly low. We quite often see them here. It will be some military exercise going on.

I tried to keep the pace up today and it increased as I went on. I really want to keep it under 6min/km, but it takes me a little while to get going properly and then I am running up a hill. When I was coming back down I tried to go quicker. At one point I could hear a bike coming up behind me. The guy did not ring his bell or shout, but he zoomed past me in his Lycra. I had my bone conduction headphones on, but he must have assumed I knew he was there and would move over.

I tried to keep the pace up all the way home. Overall it was similar to some recent runs, so I am fairly consistent. I will aim to run on Thursday and may do intervals then.

This grey weather is not ideal for solar power, but we are still generating some. It is enough to run the house and send excess to the grid.

Run free!
