Morning Ride - Riding to parkrun, but not to run
I just finished a 4.668km cycling that lasted about 0hh:17mm:38ss !
I volunteered to marshal at parkrun this week. That was partly to thank them for the assistance I got after my fall last week, but I have been meaning to do it anyway. We need people to do their share as everyone gives their time for free and some want to run too.
My mood was good this morning given the state of the $HIVE price. It has been over a dollar and is back in the top 200 on @coingecko.
It was another cool, dry, dull morning, and so ideal for running. I do not often log the ride there, but I wanted to record something today and I managed a couple of personal records. I did think I was running a little late, so I did push myself. One of those segments is really steep and I was going pretty slowly by the time I reached the top.
I was assigned to be out on the far end of the course, so I grabbed my hi-viz and wandered out there. Eventually the runners came into view with one guy well ahead. Usually I only see the fast ones at the start, but this time I really saw them in action. I tried to give some encouragement and people are very appreciative of the marshals. You get all ages and levels of runner with some walking most of the way. At least they are getting out and doing it.
On the second lap the leader was even further ahead. I waited for the last one and the tail walker. That final participant then decided to run the last bit, but the tail walker had an injury and so we just walked and chatted. I will volunteer again some time. You can get shirts for doing that enough times as well as the ones for lots of runs. I hope to get my 50th run fairly soon.
I have a pub jam session this afternoon and then we are off to a local music festival. I am hoping it stays dry. The forecast looks okay.
Stay well!

top 100 coins here we go :)
Looks like we need to get to about $3 for that. We shall see...
Beautiful morning looks like; love the tall grass. Personally, I'm loving actifit for my daily activities, I enjoy reading personal blogs of people who actively push themself to stay fit both physically and mentally. On a side note, thank you for your support on my posts! That's helping me mentally, and pushing me further physically seeing posts like this! :)
Any apps that get people more active have to be good. We have at least a couple on Hive. Stay well.
I forgot about my steem account, just rediscovered that Hive is the new king, after Sun did his thing. Great to be back, and really cool that Hive is climbing the cointable. Now let's hope Norway can do the same thing in football 😀
$HIVE lost some ground, but then I expect some people were selling to take a profit. We just need to keep building.
I do not really follow footie, but good luck to Norway.
Nice nice nice...
My greatest news for today was hive hitting a dollar.
It's nice to know your cycle.
It's been a couple of years since I did a park run. I still have guilt for not volunteering. My son is the runner in my family now and he's thinking of doing some parkruns when things start up again. I'll make up for lost time then I think. Good on you!
It's a great community activity and I would like to be more involved. I know some people put in a lot of work to organising things. I'm so glad it could start again. I need to work on getting to my 50th run.
