@steevc just finished a 6.97km run, that lasted for 43 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 538.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It has been a week since my last run, that was in Germany. Just after we returned my back was playing up, so I have rested it for a while. I felt better today and decided to try a run.
Whilst we were away there was some rain and so everything is looking very green. Our garden had flourished and we had lots of new plants in that needed it. It is due to get warm this week and so we are looking to get the pool up soon.
I did my usual run up to Fairfield, but was taking it fairly easy to see how I felt. I noticed a load of big logs by the stables. I assume that is to prevent people parking there. The road up the hill feels really wide since all the tree debris and other rubbish at the edges was cleared.
The felt pretty good really and I was able to keep up a steady pace. I would like to be a little quicker though. Strava has a new feature of estimating what you should be capable of. I would be happy to hit that 5k time as I have been about a minute slower than that at parkrun recently. I am not running much beyond 10k for now, but I may try stretching out some of my weekend runs again. I went through a phase of running monthly half marathons on my own a few years ago. It would be nice to be able to do that again. I saw a little of the London Marathon and still do not feel up to that, but well done those who did it.
Run free!

I'll likely be getting a lot more steps in now that the lawn has to be mowed every week or so. I realized the other day I need to get some new lawn mowing shoes. My current ones are so worn it is basically like mowing barefoot.
Our grass is growing well. Our mower does move itself along, so it's not too bad. I tend to wear my welly boots as it can be messy. I just need to keep on top of all the other stuff that is growing wild right now.
I've been really interested in the battery mowers lately. The people across the street have one. I wonder how powerful they can really be. For my small yard, it seems like it could be an option...
Electric would be quieter and have less maintenance than petrol. Our lawn is big, but if we could just swap batteries then it could be viable. We will see when this mower dies. We share it with the neighbour who is good with engines and he just fitted a new carb.
It's nice to have someone handy like that around! I haven't done enough research on them to know if it would be a good fit for me. I have a feeling my gas mower will be around for a while yet!
Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.

I think you run enough to get through a marathon no problem because we all know once you start it is easy to maintain. When I was in the Army marathon squad we trained with a 10K run every evening after a full day of normal training and running 42km's was not difficult.
I've done halfs, but that felt like enough when I finished. I'm not so young, so it gets harder. I do want to build up my weekly distance and will see how it goes.
See my post about the book by @dragosroua. He did massive runs in his 40s.
Yes I read that post and it is very impressive what he achieved.
Just yesterday I was thinking to myself that I have not seen your run post, then I just came online now and am seeing this 😀.
It's great you were able to rest and have resumed your running sir
