Description from Strava:
I was marshalling at parkrun yesterday where we had a great turnout. It must have been the good weather as there was no special event on. I was busy in the garden for the rest of the day, so it was time for a run this morning. With the clocks changing we lost an hour, so I went back to sleep after I initially woke up.
It is lovely and sunny, but quite windy. I had a route in mind, but I improvised a bit. I started by heading up to Fairfield. There were several piles of rubbish up the drive and at first I assumed that someone had been fly-tipping. I think it is actually the result of some clearing up as the piles were fairly neat. There were a couple of car wheels in there and also an old Sony TV where the tube had been smashed. That must have been there years.
I joined the road on the other side of Fairfield with a few runners ahead of me. I passed a couple of guys and then turned off into Standalone farm to get away from the cars. It has been a while since I did this route. I took the road from Letchworth into Norton with a diversion around some back roads to the old pond and then off across the fields. I went down the hill that you run up for Letchworth parkrun. It was not at all muddy, but there were big ruts where the tractors have been. In all this route had parts of the parkrun, Standalone 10k and the Greenway Half. I did about a third of a marathon. I had the wind against me across the fields and most of the way back, so it was hard work.
I came back to Arlesey through Stotfold taking the direct route as I knew I had done enough. I tried to keep the pace fairly steady so that I would be able to keep going, but I am feeling it now.
That is my longest run in a while and I am getting back to what I was doing a while ago. I can keep working on the pace. My back is still a little sore, but it does not bother me much when running.
Happy mothering Sunday to all the mums out there.
