Hillside Run due to roadworks

Roadworks...!

The council are digging up most of Stretton Road at the moment, getting rid of the many pot-holes. This meant that the eastbound side of the road (including pavement) was coned-off from the School all the way down to the Oak Walkway entrance. In fact there was a large generator that was powering the traffic lights blocking most of the entrance to the Oak Walkway.

Considering that I would have to run around these roadworks, potentially running into or out of the traffic (depending on the traffic lights) and would have to avoid heavy machinery, before running right around the generator, I thought it was probably best to give the Park Loop a miss today.

So, I ran in the opposite direction, selecting the Hillside Run (Gmap) instead. At the halfway turn-around point my time was 9:21 and the completion time for the 4.19kms (including hopping over four stiles and crossing the same busy A49 road twice) was 19:02.
