I was scanning barcodes in the rain at parkrun yesterday. I had an umbrella and someone brought a speaker so we had some music to cheer us up. The turnout was still pretty good.

It was hard to get up this morning. I have had some hayfever that does not help matters. I only had one beer last night. We were expecting rain, but it did not look too bad out there.

I decided to head over to Letchworth and Norton today. That involves some hills, but I was not planning to be quick. On the long straight after Fairfield I heard some people coming up behind and three guys overtook me. I was not going to try and keep up and they carried on as I turned off to Standalone Farm.

I was running some of the Standalone 10k course that I may enter again this year. I was wearing a shirt from when I did it in 2013 and have done it many times. The hills on the first part of that are hard work and I was already tiring, but I kept going.

I took the direct route back rather than trying to extend it as I would run far enough anyway. The selfie was on the cycle track between Stotfold and Arlesey. The wild flowers are looking nice this year and have been allowed to grow in places that used to be mowed. That should be good for the wildlife, but I have not seen many butterflies.

I felt I had run enough today when I got back. I need to fit in more runs during the week to get more distance in. It is raining now as I write this up and have my coffee. I do need to get out and do some things around the garden.

If any Strava users want to check out the Hive social platform that pays you then let me know.
