My fifth jog around cannon hill park

In jogging on July 15, 2008 at 4:42 pm

I started the blog today after having a great run around Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham. Having lived in the city for about 18 months I have never bothered to go to Canon Hill Park until two weeks ago when I decided to start my jogging activity for real.

I have been working out in the gym for quite a while, on the treadmill and cross trainer, but found the whole process both tedious and psychologically difficult to run any distance. So looking around on good old Google Maps I found Cannon Hill in nearby Edgbaston, opposite the cricket ground.

My first attempt around the park was just 1.6km, that was last Sunday and it was pretty good.

The next day I added on a little more to the route and went around twice.
