RUN 10 miles in 1:38
Today was a 10 park tour of St Louis! After some simple MMR planning, this is what I came up with:
Compton Hill, Terry, Eads, Lafayette, Soulard, Pontiac Square, Lyon, Cherokee, Benton, Fremont, Fox. Wait...that's 11!
On the way I missed Soulard Park, I didn't know exactly what intersection it was at. I thought it was on my right, but that looked like church grounds. Then as I passed near the Soulard farmer's market, it occurred to me that that could be the park, but I thought it was supposed to be on my right....so I kept going. Then happily I found another park along I-55 (can't remember the name....Aboussie...something like that) and when I saw the sign I even crossed the street to run through it!
This path led me very pretty streets that I've never seen before! Brick row houses, tree lined streets, history, wonderful!!
I didn't see the horses at the brewery, enjoyed the smell at first until it went from brewing to "spewing" smell (like old spilled beer). Lyon Park was winding hilly fun. But as I wound up the hill from Lyon I passed a bed n brekkie named Clydesdale cottage, so I got see horses as little statues at the front step.
And found an awesome water fountain in Pontiac. NICE arc of water from one of the usually dribbly bubblers.
Today was originally going be the day I move! I ran by my new house, down spout still not fixed?!
Quote is from Kat's Kudos, very fitting for this run! "...we need to do more of that, where we use running as activity to enjoy our surroundings rather than just having these data driven goals..."
