I was marshalling at parkrun yesterday, so I wanted to run today as I try to get back into regular outings. We have had some storms lately with heavy rain, so I was hoping it would be dry for me. I am sure I heard rain in the night, but there was no sign of it this morning.

I was thinking I would run for about an hour. As usual I started by going up the hill to Fairfield. I was listening to an [old episode](https://radiolab.org/podcast/man-against-horse-2307) of RadioLab that was very appropriate as it talked about how humans evolved to run. It went on to talk about a 50 mile race in the US where runners compete against others on horses. You will have to listen to find out who won. That did inspire me to keep going on a much shorter run. That was followed by Infinite Monkey Cage on [Bees vs Wasps](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001np29).

I took the long way around Stotfold and then out towards Astwick. The start of the path across the fields back towards Etonbury is very overgrown and I had to weave past the nettles.

It was quite muggy, so I felt warm. I could feel my hip, but it was not too bad. Actually my back was really stiff when I got up and I was having trouble bending, but it did not affect my running too much. Sometimes I feel old.

I got back a bit later than intended as we were due to go up the road to mark 100 years of the village war memorial. I just had time for breakfast and a shower. There were a lot of people up there and some British Legion guys with a flag. My other half has a relative on the memorial.

I am just having a coffee then I need to muck out the chickens before heading off for a band rehearsal. It is a busy day.

Run free.
