Morning Run: Chilly
steevc just finished a 7.08km run, that lasted for 43 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 483.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It has turned cold again here. Strava reckons it was -1C, but feeling like -6C. I decided hat and gloves were a good idea, but was still in shorts. I just did the usual loop around Fairfield. That has a fair bit of uphill even though I was not very quick.
I was not pushing too hard today. It was frosty and so I was wary of it being slippery, but it was not too bad. When I got back I had to take the chickens' water in to thaw it out. I forgot to fetch it in last night.
It was fairly quiet out there, but the two old guys I usually see were out for their morning walk. I also saw at least one black squirrel. I quite like these crisp mornings and it is getting a bit lighter now.
Podcast listening was Chasing Tone about guitars and the Drumeo show that was mainly about whether drumming 'influencers' are real musicians. The lines are blurred these days. Your online following can be more about your personality than your talent, but there are a lot of great musicians who just make videos.
Run free!

I was out this morning myself, running into the sunrise along the coast, a beautiful way to start the day!
Rocking the RonHill wear there I note, I must get myself a new one of those hats, they are defo the best!
Got matching gloves. I actually rarely wear the hat, but I just had my hair cut fairly short and I feel the lack of insulation up there. I think Ron died last year. He had something like a 50 year daily running streak!
Oh that's sad news - he was truly a runninng legend!
You’re brave this morning!!
I don't mind the cold too much, but have to watch out for ice. Just have to dress for the weather.

Layers, layers etc in some ways easier this time of year than summer to cope with the weather.

It is cold! minus 4 here earlier but back up to zero.
I am quite fond of some music 'influencers' or personalities on youtube. They do fall into two camps the ones who are just pure musicians who often don't have a lot of personality and the ones who combine both. I like the latter best but still watch the former too
I could watch videos about music gear all day, but I'd get nothing else done. People will do what works for them and it is possible to make a living from being an 'influencer' (whatever that means). It's all about delivering something of value to your audience. Not everyone can make a career from playing music. I'd love to see some of these people using Hive. I know of one who posts videos here, but he hardly ever engages with people, so will get less support. The Hive audience is still pretty small and those interested in music gear are a tiny minority.
A minority of a minority!
Yeah, that's the worst about the occasional good one that posts here is the lack of engagement which leads further to a lack of engagement on the viewers parts
Planning a walk for the weekend of a decent length and I’ll Strav it. Kayaking tonight at the indoor pool. Hoping to do some longer trips on the water this year.
Cool. I hope to have other outings I can record. Have fun.

BEERKING.This time of year has to be a bit hazardous with the black ice and stuff like that. I think I would be falling all over the place if I wasn't running indoors. We are in a bit of a warmup, but I think there is some wintry weather coming tonight or tomorrow.
You get it worse than us. I was being a bit wary. Black ice can be nasty. I only felt my foot slip once and that was where a trickle of water had frozen. I didn't fall at all on that. A treadmill would be great, but I don't think I'd use it much.
I'd like to think I would use one a lot if we had it. Who really knows though!
It's only a few times a year that I can't run outside and I enjoy being out there.
Yeah, definitely not the case here! :)
Its to cold Even in this cold you are going to the running, it is very surprising because it is a bit cold here, people don't come to the running.
I don't think there is such a thing as too cold for running. Just wear more clothes :)
Is Exhaust is a separate app to post your activities like actifit ? I am thinking to start walking.
Exhaust was a way to log activities, but it has shut down. Now I use @strava2hive that creates a post when I update a Strava run.
