I hear he has been talking to you a lot. I hope you are getting the hang of this Steem thing. I know it is very different to other sites and it's complicated. But you gain in freedom and potential rewards. I would hope the urbex community will grow and become self-sustaining. You are one of the pioneers!

Thanks Steve without @slobberchops guidance and encouragement I would have given up!

He may tell you that the same happened with me coaching him :) I don't want people to leave Steem if they have something to offer. Now he's got a lot more Steem than me, but then he bought loads. You don't have to do that. I just invest what I can afford to lose, but of course I hope Steem will do well.

As you well know, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and @heymattsokal, and a certain conversation long ago. I have tried to find it as it was a turning point, but can't.

It's on the chain somewhere, and maybe not on my own post. Thank you for all your early support, I kind of relied on you in the first few months to keep me going.

Little did you know what you were in for ;) I consider every good Steemian to be valuable and you have inspired me in turn.

I'll try an @tipu curate but I think I'm out of mana!

Chuffed to make yer top few!

And connecting with you is defo one of my Steem highlights Steve!

I'm presently looking at a spreasheet I've cut down to 185 Steemians I follow.

With categories.

This is a great initiative by @theycallmedan

Was sad to see ade has PD'd - and probably at quite a loss. At least he's still earning!

I'm celebrating a park run pb today. Unexpected by 4 seconds, possibly because I started right at the front... makes a difference I think!

No problem. It was great to get to know you. I cannot follow many more people or I would never get off Steem. Trying to keep the quality of my feed high.

I was reading about someone trying the radical Nike shoes on a parkrun and getting a big PB. Would it feel like cheating? I hope to get back to some running soon when I get over this cold. Will try to do plenty of walking in the meantime.

Cheers!

I've thought the same about those shoes... they do seem to make a bit difference and it is an issue the more 'tech' you can cram into a small space.

Shoes aside I can really recommend doing intervals - I've done quite a bit of speed work (400s/ 200s/ 302010s) and I hit 3Ks today and just felt 'I'm running faster and it feels natural'- it was defo the intervals. I overheard another guy who got a PB (18 mins something) saying the same thing.

It's all about the intervals. Less is more.

In the meantime, walking is good.

That must be one hell of a cold!

I have been doing more intervals in the last few months and I see improvements. Will get back on them soon. This is my worst cold in a while. It's been a week and still feel like shit, but may be back at work on Monday.
