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 @nathanmars 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.
Run free!

I do need one or two rest days. I can have Endomondo, Google Fit and Actifit all logging steps, but this crashing is annoying. I don't want to have to keep messing around. I could just carry another camera to snap with.
1/2 is on 12th May. Only 2 months to get in shape!

I think another camera sounds like a decent solution! Or a phone upgrade?

Don't really want to spend on a phone, but I have my little action camera that fits in a pocket. I have used it a couple of times on runs.

A couple of years since I did my last half marathon; but today will be running day too for sure! Aiming to get back to 10k routinely 😉

Cool. I never thought I would be a runner, but since I took it up a few years back I can't imagine not running.

Yep, it's kind of addicting; blame it on the post-run endorphine rush! ;)

What a beautiful old house! There seems to be an increase in stupid people these days who abuse the use of cars. I wouldn't think about leaving the scene of such an accident; makes me think they were possibly drunk or in a stolen car.
I've not managed to get out again this week but was pretty active on Tuesday. Unfortunately I've had a bad arm...again which although isn't used for running has been eye wateringly painful so I've just rested. I may head out for a long walk with the dog later to get my count up.

We get plenty of idiot drivers around here. I regularly hear cars zoom through the village. That's risky given how many parked cars there are. There have been a fair few accidents. Recently someone else messed up that corner and crashed into the hedge next door to the old house.

If STEEM goes even to 3.33 $ by June I would be excited as hell. 7.77$ would be out of this world. But let's hope for the best!

I think it's an ambitious goal, but why not reach for the stars? I think part of Steem's problem is that it just isn't well known. Maybe we can get more people talking about it.

Wow, that tree falling over is crazy. Do you think it was because of the winds or the rain or both? We had some pretty hefty storms this past week. In fact about 30 minutes down the road from where we live there were 4 confirmed tornadoes. Pretty scary!

Maybe the ground has been loosened by the rain. Maybe it can be pushed back up. We don't get tornadoes around here. Those must be really scary.

Well done it looked like a lovely run, I have found it difficult to get out much this week due to the wind, it’s been awful!
I have lots of apps running on my phone all the time which kills my battery, I used to always carry my go pro on runs but I’ve not done that lately maybe I should start doing it again

I've thought about getting a watch that can track the runs independently of my phone. Just don't want to spend a fortune on that.
