I could just copy my last blog post because todays exercise was the same as yesterday. A BMF class plus some cycling to get there and back and collect a parcel from the post office.
Except that, apart from the hot weather, it was very different in many ways. For a start the parcel I went to collect was actually there to be collected today!
I only just made it to Ravenscourt Park in time for BMF. We had gone out early on spec to see if my new bike was ready for collection a day early. It wasn’t because they are flat-out in the work shop. I reverted to plan a and BMF when I got home and realised that I would be only 10 mins or so later than normal leaving and could still make it. This focused my mind so I took the direct route down the bigger road that I normally avoid (and meander round the back streets). I discovered that the direct road route was not any more scary than the back streets and was significantly shorter and quicker!
Ravenscourt Park is much smaller than Hyde but it didn’t stop us running lots! I suffered in the heat today which really slowed me down. We did explore new bits of the park, finding logs to lift for Sumo squats and a nature park round a pond for a useful lap or two between sit-ups where it was essential to keep your mouth closed because of all the insects!
Juneathon day 12.

Over 30 years ago I used to take the children I looked after to Ravenscourt park, thanks for bringing back memories and for making me feel old – really how can that be 30 years ago?

30 years was only yesterday! I will take some photos next time to take you down memory lane. It’s a great park.

It was always the best in the area, at that time I worked on Acton lane not our local but worth the trip and pics would be great

Ah yes – insect snacks. I’m eating rather a lot of those at the moment.
