I've been pretty active this week with a run on Wednesday, bike ride on Friday and a couple of workouts at home. I'm entering the Greenway Challenge half marathon again, so I need to get serious. This year I want to get under two hours.
It was sad to see that this lovely old house was seriously damaged after a car ran into it last night. I suspect they took the corner too quickly and smashed in the wall under one of the windows. There were reports on Facebook of a car driving through the village with bits hanging off. I hope they get caught.
I took a different route heading up past Henlow Grange (Champney's health spa where celebrities hang out) up to Langford. I'm not sure I've run all that way before. It's been really windy and it rained a lot last night, so I was dodging some puddles. Up near the Langford garden centre I came across this tree that had been toppled.
I was finding it hard going for a lot of the way, although on the last couple of kilometres my legs just switched to auto-mode. The other exercise may have drained my resources a bit and it may take a while for my body to adjust, but I hope my general fitness will improve.
I still have an issue where some of my apps crash every time I use the camera on my phone. So I ended up with three separate runs totaling 11km in just over an hour. Not quite as fast as last week.
I have an extra little workout each day as I am doing the #Seven77 push-up challenge instigated by on Twitter. He wants Steem to go to $7.77 by June. That would be nice. Lots of people are taking part and it may help to show how active the Steem community is. Nathan is promising some sort of reward for those who complete the challenge. I've done two days so far with 75 to go. @Actifit are promoting it too. Unfortunately I forgot to ensure their app was running before I set off.
I will aim to keep up this level of activity with some longer weekend runs. I also want to get back to parkrun, but other things are cropping up on Saturday mornings.
