steevc just finished a 7.3km run, that lasted for 44 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 543.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
We have been in Southsea again, so I had to fit in a run by the sea. We stayed at the old Queen's Hotel which has some charm and actually had a view of the sea so we could see the boats. The big war memorial has fencing around it as I think they are preparing for marking D-Day.
I just did a gentle jog today too stretch my legs. It is all fairly flat, but I did go up the steps onto the embankment around the castle. Some paths are still shit as they work in the sea defences. I have run here a few times so I see the progress.
There is an ornamental rock garden that I ran through. A fox appeared right in front of me and casually wandered off. Then a heron took off from the pond. I also saw some squirrels.
I kept going past the pier and a park before turn back. There is a boating lake in the park that has masses of swans. There are a series of parks and gardens that I could run through on the way back to keep away from the roads.
Yesterday was pretty warm. It was overcast today, but still not cold and so I got a good sweat on. I just had time for a shower before we went for a hearty breakfast. We had time for a wander around the local shops before getting our train home. We only just realised that we could get a railcard that gives us a discount when the two of us travel together. You have to pay for it, but we should easily save more. We have driven to Portsmouth a few times, but with roadworks over the weekend that might have been difficult. We quite like the train anyway.
Run free.

I was going to ask if you even got to see the sea. They have those fences up blocking everything! Kind of lame!
I didn't dip my toes in this time, but I could see out to the Isle of Wight. Need to go there some time.
Seems a bit deserted. I can imagine it gets quite busy in summer. I'm hoping to spend more time in the seaside this summer. Might even try to go for an extended 1 month stay somewhere and work from there.
It was busy yesterday, but this was fairly early on a Monday. We live a long way from the sea, so it's nice to get to the coast now and then.
Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.

Greetings @steevc ,
We enjoyed going seaside...thank you for bringing Hive with you.
Cheers!
Steve always getting a good run... Wait Steve what exactly is marking D-Day for the memorial 🤔
The D-Day landings in Normandy were in June 1943. A major event in the war. Portsmouth is still a big navy base.
Wow this is seriously level of history I'm looking at right now wow Steve you're always informative 🫡 respect to you man
