Description from Strava:
I have said that the weather has been mixed and we had heavy rain yesterday. It was okay when I went for my run, but we had hail later. It is a little chilly, but I was warm enough.
I was at our pub jam session last night playing some songs on ukulele. I took inspiration from the performance I joined in with on Friday and used that group's songbook. So we had a bit of Pink Pony Club. It seems the current pub owners will be leaving in September due to changes in the brewery lease. That is a shame as they have been good to us. With all the new houses being built they could potentially have more customers. I think the pub is listed so could not be demolished, but builders must be eyeing up the big garden.
It was time for a bit of a workout, so I headed for our nearest hill to do some intervals. I just run up it as fast as I can manage. Today that was not too bad really despite not sleeping great. I saw a few other runners passing through. In fact it went so well that I did an extra sprint as I usually only do five.
I took the long way home to add some distance for the work challenge. I noticed that a couple of houses have now been demolished where a new road will go. This will run through the new estate by the railway and offer an alternative to the High Street that can get gridlocked. That can be due to all the parked cars as a lot of people in terraced houses do not have a driveway.
I plan to be at parkrun on Saturday. I may need my trail shoes if this rain has soaked in. There is another local one I want to do, but I will need the car to get there.

Wow, 7 km running is pretty great... I wish I would do that even by walking. Being an IT professional made me lazy, I need a change in my way of living. Thanks for sharing, hopefully I can get inspired from such experiences.
I work in IT too, so I needed to do something and I took up running some years ago as it was convenient. It was really hard to start with, but now it's just something I do. I seem to have inspired a few people and that's a good enough reason to keep doing these posts, plus I enjoy it.
I did my usual workout on the treadmill today. I need to see what I can do this summer about maybe upping the intensity or distance.
I'm just hoping to improve my parkrun times and maybe do some longer runs.
7 Km is impressive. Honestly, quite impressive for me. After the heart attack, I have set my target to 1 km walking and still trying to reach it.
If you have health issues then you need to take it easy, but I hope you can improve.
I am taking it real slow. But, sometimes it is depressing not to be able to do what you have your mind set to.
Lot of rain here too, and some bar and pubs are struggling with expenses and regulations
It's a tough business as less people go out drinking these days. Often there is nobody other than us in the pub, but we can bring in a few. That is only every two weeks.
Great job. Running 7.11 km is a quite achievement, particularly in the morning.
I do it most weeks, so I'm used to it, as you have probably seen.
Yes, I have.
