Park Run


Juneathon day 10 run 5.52km time 32min

On a grey blustery, rather miserable day I decided it was time for a park run.

Nearby is a small park with a perimeter path of about 500 metres and sometimes it is good to go round and round in circles. The twist is that the field is tilted so that it is higher in one corner. The incline is not that steep and looking at it you would certainly not call it hill work but after a few laps it seems to get harder and harder.

If the slope was a bit steeper I would probably call the session Kenyan Hills. As it is the more accurate name would be Kenyan Slopes.

Recently they have improved the play facilities in the park. There used just to be a fenced off area with traditional swings and slides but now they have added some much more exciting equipment. But obviously the most important upgrade is a notice which tells us that the objects are indeed for play. Without that we might have been lost and puzzled

'Where is that playbound?' asked Hector. I am well acquainted with a wide variety of playground ecquipment, but there are some things there that I've not seen before. Always good to see new play apparatus.

I think I would be impressed by 47km but would then have to miss the following day to recover. So for Juneathon shorter distances rule.

oh but "kenyan hills" is so romantic! I love over top and often unrelated titles to posts :)
