Run 062 - North Park and Industrial area cleanup

May 27, 2023

On some of these runs, several blocks in an area get left because the way streets are laid out or the run I wanted didn’t need the extra distance.  In the North Park area there were 4-5 blocks that needed running but the rest of the area was done.  The same situation occurred just south of there in the city’s industrial area although most of the missing streets were in a sections together.

I made up a map that would cover all these streets and saw that it was over 7 miles, a bit further than we usually run on our Saturday morning outings but I didn’t have time to change it so I thought that the Industrial area night due for today.  


I got to our Rim Runner meet up spot and the walkers were there and only two other runners but those two like to do their own thing and aren’t interested in my project so I set off alone.  It’s really nice out and I just followed the map as I streamed some good tunes on Apple Music to my AirPods.  When I finished that first part I thought, “What the heck,” and did the North Park area, gaining me a bit over 7 miles.

The run felt pretty good, especially considering I haven’t run in a week and half, having spent the last 10 days on a motorcycle covering almost 4,000 miles.  Here are some photos from today.























And the stats for the run.
